DUI/DWI offenders in Vandergrift are occasionally given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab center instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for these kinds of criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather harsh, and may include incarceration and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for new offenders, the judge finds that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Vandergrift that are fortunate enough to be able to take part in such treatment instead of other more severe consequences, many will stay out of the court system for good.
