DUI/DWI offenders in Russellton, PA. are occasionally given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment center in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for these types of crimes can occasionally be very serious, and may include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for initial offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the issue.
