DUI/DWI offenders in Palmyra are sometimes given the chance to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The punishment for such offenses can occasionally be very harsh, which can include incarceration and serious fines and various significant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for new offenders, the court will decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Palmyra who are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other more severe punishment, most will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
