ARD Program in Lebanon County

Lebanon County offers the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program for eligible first-time DUI offenders. ARD is authorized under 75 Pa.C.S. § 3807. Qualifying defendants can avoid a criminal conviction by completing probation, drug and alcohol treatment, and other conditions set by the court. When ARD is completed successfully, the defendant may apply to have the DUI arrest expunged from their record. This makes ARD a highly attractive option for first-time offenders in Lebanon County who want to avoid a lasting criminal record.

Eligibility for ARD in Lebanon County is determined by the District Attorney. The DA reviews the BAC level recorded under 75 Pa.C.S. § 3814, whether an accident or injury occurred, whether passengers under 14 were present, and the defendant's prior criminal record. Defendants accepted into ARD waive their right to a speedy trial. Those who fail to complete the program face prosecution on the original DUI charges. Contact the Lebanon County District Attorney to find out if you qualify for ARD.
