DUI/DWI offenders in Fillmore are often given the option to take part in a drug treatment program as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for such offenses can occasionally be quite harsh, and may include incarceration and significant fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for initial offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Fillmore who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other additional serious penalties, most will stay away from the court system for good.
