DUI/DWI offenders in Ivanhoe, California are sometimes given the chance to take advantage of an alcohol and drug treatment center as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for these types of crimes can often be rather harsh, and may include incarceration and substantial fines and various significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for first time offenders, the court finds that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Ivanhoe, California that are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment in lieu of other more serious penalties, most will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
