DUI/DWI offenders in San Juan Bautista, CA. are often given the option to take advantage of an alcohol and drug treatment center as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for such offenses can often be quite severe, and may include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and other significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for initial offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in San Juan Bautista, CA. who are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other far more severe punishment, most will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
