DUI/DWI offenders in Tomales, California are occasionally given the opportunity to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehab center in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for such crimes can occasionally be quite severe, including jail time and serious fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for initial offenders, the court may decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Tomales, California that are lucky enough to be able to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe punishment, many will stay away from the court system permanently.
