DUI/DWI offenders in Hesperia are often given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab program instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these types of offenses can occasionally be quite harsh, and may include incarceration and significant fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for initial offenders, the judge will decide that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Hesperia that are fortunate enough to be able to take part in this rehab process instead of other more extreme consequences, most will remain away from the criminal justice system for good.
