Quite a few men and women who are found guilty of DUI or DWI in Thompsontown, PA. find themselves at a crossroads, and can either be dealt severe penalties for their alcohol and drug related crimes or agree to go to proven and effective drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities. First time DUI/DWI criminal justice clients are primary prospects for such treatment, and this has been proven effective in addressing issues with drugs and alcohol and making sure they stay out of the court system for good. In fact, even if the drug and alcohol rehabilitation option is not voluntary and is ordered by the court these offenders experience similar if not better benefits as those who take part in drug rehabilitation voluntarily. In truth, it is a lot more advantageous for the offender, the courts and society at large to treat DUI/DWI offenders than it is to penalize them.
