DUI/DWI offenders in South Gate, CA. are often given the chance to take advantage of a drug rehab facility as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather serious, and may include jail time and significant fines and various significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for new offenders, the judge finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in South Gate, CA. that are lucky enough to be able to take part in this rehab process instead of other far more extreme punishment, a great number will stay away from the court system permanently.
