DUI/DWI offenders in Mifflintown are sometimes given the option to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehab center instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for such crimes can occasionally be very severe, which can include jail time and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for initial offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Mifflintown that are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process instead of other additional severe punishment, most will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
