Individuals in Hazelton with DUI/DWI are often court ordered to go to an alcohol or drug treatment facility, usually when they are first time offenders and in lieu of other court penalties. While being convicted of a DUI/DWI in Hazelton usually comes with large fines and even jail time in some instances, the criminal justice system is at times more apt to help rehabilitate the individual instead of penalizing them. Allowing people with DUI/DWI to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program as an alternative to other forms of punishment has shown to be successful in keeping people in Hazelton out of the criminal justice system because of DUI/DWI in the future.
