DUI/DWI offenders in Freeport, PA. are sometimes given the option to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment program instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The consequences for these types of crimes can often be rather severe, and may include jail time and substantial fines and even significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for new offenders, the judge finds that treating the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Freeport, PA. that are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process instead of other additional serious punishment, most will remain away from the criminal justice system for good.
