DUI/DWI offenders in New Kensington, PA. are often given the option to participate in a drug rehabilitation center instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The punishment for these types of crimes can ordinarily be rather harsh, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for new offenders, the court finds that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in New Kensington, PA. who are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other far more serious penalties, a great number will stay out of the court system permanently.
