DUI/DWI offenders in Goetzville are sometimes given the opportunity to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for such offenses can ordinarily be rather severe, including jail time and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for first time offenders, the court may decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Goetzville that are lucky enough to be able to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more extreme penalties, a great number will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
