DUI/DWI offenders in Hydesville, California are sometimes given the option to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. Penalties for these kinds of crimes can often be very severe, and may include incarceration and significant fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for first time offenders, the court may decide that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Hydesville, California that are lucky enough to be able to take part in such treatment in lieu of other far more extreme consequences, many will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
