DUI/DWI offenders in Fredonia, Pennsylvania are sometimes given the chance to take advantage of a drug rehabilitation facility in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for these types of crimes can ordinarily be quite extreme, which can include being locked up in jail and significant fines and other significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for first time offenders, the judge finds that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Fredonia, Pennsylvania that are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment instead of other more serious penalties, many will remain away from the criminal justice system for good.
