DUI/DWI offenders in Markleeville, California are occasionally given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment facility as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The punishment for such crimes can often be very severe, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for initial offenders, the judge finds that treating the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Markleeville who are fortunate enough to be able to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more serious consequences, a great number will stay out of the court system for good.
