DUI/DWI offenders in Somerset, California are occasionally given the chance to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab facility in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for these kinds of criminal offenses can occasionally be rather serious, which can include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for initial offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Somerset, California that are fortunate enough to be able to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other far more serious punishment, many will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
