DUI/DWI offenders in Sidman, Pennsylvania are often given the chance to take part in a drug rehabilitation program in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for these kinds of crimes can often be rather harsh, and may include being locked up in jail and serious fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for new offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Sidman, Pennsylvania who are lucky enough to be able to participate in such treatment in lieu of other more severe consequences, a great number will remain away from the criminal justice system for good.
