DUI/DWI offenders in Harpster, OH. are sometimes given the option to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehab center in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for these types of offenses can ordinarily be rather harsh, including jail time and significant fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI.
