DUI/DWI offenders in Healdsburg, California are often given the option to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment program as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for such offenses can occasionally be quite harsh, which can include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and various significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for new offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Healdsburg that are lucky enough to be able to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe consequences, a great number will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
