DUI/DWI offenders in Gordonville are often given the option to take advantage of a drug rehabilitation center in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for such criminal offenses can occasionally be very severe, and may include jail time and serious fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for initial offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Gordonville that are lucky enough to be able to participate in such treatment instead of other far more severe consequences, most will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
