DUI/DWI offenders in Trexlertown are often given the opportunity to take advantage of an alcohol and drug treatment facility instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. Penalties for such offenses can ordinarily be rather extreme, and may include jail time and serious fines and various significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for initial offenders, the judge finds that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is will prove more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Trexlertown who are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other additional severe penalties, a great number will remain out of the court system for good.
