DUI/DWI offenders in Reno, PA. are occasionally given the option to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for these kinds of offenses can often be rather extreme, which can include being locked up in jail and serious fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for first time offenders, the judge finds that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Reno, PA. that are lucky enough to be able to take part in such treatment instead of other additional severe punishment, many will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
