DUI/DWI offenders in Colfax, California are often given the opportunity to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment center instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for these types of crimes can often be quite serious, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for initial offenders, the court may decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Colfax, California that are lucky enough to be able to take part in this rehab process instead of other far more extreme penalties, many will remain out of the court system permanently.
