DUI/DWI offenders in Valley Ford, California are often given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug treatment center in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The punishment for these kinds of crimes can often be rather harsh, including jail time and significant fines and other significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for initial offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Valley Ford, California that are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other more serious punishment, many will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
