DUI/DWI offenders in Oakley are often given the option to take part in a drug rehab facility in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for such offenses can often be rather extreme, including incarceration and significant fines and various significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is will prove more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Oakley who are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment in lieu of other far more extreme consequences, most will remain out of the court system permanently.
