DUI/DWI offenders in Jerome, Pennsylvania are often given the option to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of offenses can ordinarily be quite extreme, including incarceration and significant fines and various significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for first time offenders, the court may decide that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Jerome, Pennsylvania that are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment instead of other more extreme penalties, many will remain out of the court system permanently.
