DUI/DWI offenders in Spottsville are sometimes given the option to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these types of offenses can often be quite serious, including jail time and serious fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Spottsville that are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment in lieu of other additional severe punishment, many will remain out of the court system permanently.
