DUI/DWI offenders in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania are occasionally given the option to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for such criminal offenses can often be very severe, and may include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for initial offenders, the court finds that treating the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania that are fortunate enough to be able to participate in such treatment instead of other far more extreme consequences, a great number will stay away from the court system for good.
