DUI/DWI offenders in Uniontown are often given the chance to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The punishment for these types of crimes can ordinarily be very harsh, which can include jail time and serious fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for first time offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Uniontown that are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment in lieu of other additional extreme punishment, many will remain away from the court system permanently.
