DUI/DWI offenders in Lancaster are occasionally given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug rehab facility as opposed to receiving other consequences for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for these kinds of offenses can often be quite harsh, including jail time and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Lancaster who are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment in lieu of other more severe penalties, most will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
