DUI/DWI offenders in Fillmore, CA. are sometimes given the opportunity to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. Penalties for these types of crimes can occasionally be quite harsh, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for initial offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Fillmore, California who are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other far more serious punishment, most will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
