DUI/DWI offenders in Boulevard, CA. are occasionally given the chance to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment program instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for such crimes can ordinarily be very extreme, and may include being locked up in jail and significant fines and various significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for new offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Boulevard, CA. that are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other far more extreme punishment, many will stay out of the court system permanently.
