DUI/DWI offenders in Sunol, CA. are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug treatment program as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for such offenses can occasionally be quite serious, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for new offenders, the court will decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Sunol, CA. that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other more extreme punishment, a great number will stay away from the criminal justice system permanently.
