DUI/DWI offenders in Borrego Springs, California are sometimes given the option to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab program as opposed to receiving other consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for such offenses can occasionally be very harsh, and may include being locked up in jail and serious fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for new offenders, the judge may decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Borrego Springs that are fortunate enough to be able to participate in this rehab process instead of other more serious consequences, a great number will remain away from the criminal justice system for good.
