DUI/DWI offenders in Reseda are sometimes given the option to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for such offenses can occasionally be rather severe, and may include being locked up in jail and serious fines and various significant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for initial offenders, the court will decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Reseda who are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment in lieu of other additional extreme consequences, many will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
