DUI/DWI offenders in Long Beach are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center as opposed to receiving other consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be quite harsh, including incarceration and significant fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for new offenders, the court will decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Long Beach who are lucky enough to be able to take part in such treatment instead of other additional extreme consequences, many will remain out of the court system for good.
