Many individuals who are convicted of DUI or DWI in Locust Gap, Pennsylvania find themselves at a crossroads, and can either be dealt severe penalties for their alcohol and drug related offenses or agree to go to effective drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. First time DUI/DWI offenders are prime prospects for this kind of rehabilitation, and this has been proven effective in addressing difficulties with drugs and alcohol and making sure they stay out of the court system in the future. In fact, even if the drug and alcohol treatment option is not voluntary and is ordered by the judge these clients experience similar if not better benefits as those who take part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation voluntarily. In essence, it is much more beneficial for the client, the court system and today's culture at large to rehabilitate DUI/DWI offenders than it is to punish them.
