DUI/DWI offenders in Cloverdale, CA. are sometimes given the option to take advantage of a drug treatment center in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for these types of offenses can often be quite serious, and may include incarceration and substantial fines and even significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for initial offenders, the judge will decide that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Cloverdale, CA. who are fortunate enough to be able to take part in such treatment instead of other far more serious consequences, many will stay out of the court system permanently.
