DUI/DWI offenders in Rancho Santa Fe, California are occasionally given the opportunity to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment center instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for such crimes can often be quite severe, which can include incarceration and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for initial offenders, the court will decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Rancho Santa Fe, California who are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other additional serious consequences, a great number will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
