DUI/DWI offenders in Arcadia are sometimes given the chance to take advantage of a drug treatment facility as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can often be very extreme, including jail time and substantial fines and even significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for initial offenders, the judge finds that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Arcadia who are fortunate enough to be able to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe penalties, a great number will remain away from the court system for good.
