DUI/DWI offenders in Dunsmuir, California are sometimes given the chance to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program as opposed to receiving other consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. Penalties for these types of offenses can often be quite severe, which can include incarceration and serious fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for first time offenders, the judge may decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Dunsmuir that are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other far more severe penalties, many will remain out of the court system for good.
