DUI/DWI offenders in Montebello, CA. are occasionally given the option to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab center as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these types of crimes can occasionally be rather harsh, which can include jail time and substantial fines and even significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for initial offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug 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 Montebello, CA. that are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe consequences, most will remain away from the court system permanently.
