DUI/DWI offenders in Weldon, California are often given the option to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for such crimes can ordinarily be quite severe, and may include jail time and significant fines and various significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Weldon, California who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other additional severe consequences, a great number will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
