DUI/DWI offenders in Perkiomenville are sometimes given the option to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment center as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The consequences for such offenses can occasionally be very extreme, including being locked up in jail and serious fines and various significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Perkiomenville who are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment in lieu of other more severe penalties, most will stay away from the criminal justice system permanently.
