DUI/DWI offenders in South Sterling, Pennsylvania are sometimes given the opportunity to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment center instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these kinds of crimes can ordinarily be quite harsh, and may include jail time and serious fines and even significant 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 treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in South Sterling, Pennsylvania who are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process instead of other additional serious punishment, a great number will stay away from the criminal justice system permanently.
