DUI/DWI offenders in Myerstown are often given the chance to take advantage of an alcohol and drug treatment facility instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. Penalties for these types of criminal offenses can often be quite extreme, including incarceration and significant fines and even significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Myerstown who are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other far more extreme penalties, a great number will stay away from the criminal justice system permanently.
