DUI/DWI offenders in Fontana are sometimes given the chance to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab program in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for these kinds of crimes can occasionally be very serious, which can include incarceration and significant fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for new offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Fontana that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other more severe penalties, many will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
