DUI/DWI offenders in Buttonwillow, California are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these types of crimes can ordinarily be rather harsh, which can include jail time and substantial fines and various significant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for initial offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Buttonwillow, California who are fortunate enough to be able to take part in such treatment in lieu of other additional severe consequences, a great number will remain away from the court system permanently.
