DUI/DWI offenders in Sinnamahoning, Pennsylvania are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehab program in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for such offenses can ordinarily be quite severe, and may include being locked up in jail and significant fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for initial offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Sinnamahoning, Pennsylvania who are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment in lieu of other more serious penalties, many will stay away from the court system permanently.
