DUI/DWI offenders in Havertown, Pennsylvania are often given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment center as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be rather severe, including being locked up in jail and serious fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for first time offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Havertown, Pennsylvania that are lucky enough to be able to take part in such treatment instead of other far more severe penalties, many will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
