DUI/DWI offenders in Guerneville are often given the opportunity to take part in a drug rehab program in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for these kinds of criminal offenses can ordinarily be quite harsh, including jail time and serious fines and various significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Guerneville that are lucky enough to be able to take part in this rehab process instead of other more serious penalties, a great number will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
