DUI/DWI offenders in Hermon are often given the opportunity to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be very serious, which can include jail time and significant fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for new offenders, the court finds that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Hermon that are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process instead of other additional serious consequences, a great number will remain out of the court system permanently.
