DUI/DWI offenders in Vintondale, PA. are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab facility in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these types of criminal offenses can often be rather extreme, which can include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for first time offenders, the court will decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Vintondale, PA. who are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment in lieu of other more severe punishment, a great number will stay away from the court system for good.
