DUI/DWI offenders in Point Marion are occasionally given the chance to participate in a drug rehabilitation program instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these types of crimes can ordinarily be rather serious, which can include incarceration and substantial fines and other significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for new offenders, the court may decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is will prove more effective in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Point Marion who are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe penalties, many will remain away from the court system permanently.
