DUI/DWI offenders in Dixon, CA. are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for such crimes can occasionally be very serious, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for new offenders, the judge may decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem.
