DUI/DWI offenders in Hellertown are occasionally given the option to take advantage of a drug and alcohol treatment center instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for such criminal offenses can often be quite extreme, which can include jail time and significant fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for initial offenders, the court may decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Hellertown who are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe consequences, most will stay out of the court system permanently.
