DUI/DWI offenders in Mount Union, Pennsylvania are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in a drug rehabilitation program in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be quite extreme, and may include being locked up in jail and significant fines and various significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for first time offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Mount Union, Pennsylvania who are fortunate enough to be able to participate in this rehab process instead of other additional extreme consequences, a great number will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
