DUI/DWI offenders in Benton, California are sometimes given the chance to participate in a drug rehabilitation facility in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of crimes can often be quite extreme, and may include being locked up in jail and serious fines and various significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for initial offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Benton, California who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more serious penalties, many will remain away from the court system for good.
