DUI/DWI offenders in Pine Grove are occasionally given the option to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center as opposed to receiving other penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be very harsh, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for new 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 term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Pine Grove that are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other far more severe penalties, many will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
