DUI/DWI offenders in Orrtanna, Pennsylvania are sometimes given the option to participate in a drug treatment center in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for such criminal offenses can often be quite extreme, and may include incarceration and significant fines and other significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for initial offenders, the court will decide that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Orrtanna, Pennsylvania who are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment in lieu of other additional severe penalties, many will stay out of the court system permanently.
