DUI/DWI offenders in Ravendale, CA. are sometimes given the chance to participate in a drug treatment center instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be very severe, including being locked up in jail and serious fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for new offenders, the court may decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Ravendale, CA. who are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment in lieu of other additional severe penalties, most will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
