DUI/DWI offenders in Brisbane, CA. are occasionally given the option to take advantage of a drug treatment facility instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for these kinds of offenses can often be very severe, which can include incarceration and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for initial offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Brisbane, CA. that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other more severe penalties, many will stay away from the court system permanently.
