DUI/DWI offenders in York are occasionally given the chance to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment program in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for these kinds of offenses can occasionally 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 new offenders, the court may decide that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in York who are fortunate enough to be able to participate in such treatment instead of other far more serious punishment, most will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
