DUI/DWI offenders in Menifee, California are often given the chance to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for such criminal offenses can often be very serious, which can include being locked up in jail and significant fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for initial offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Menifee that are lucky enough to be able to take part in such treatment instead of other far more serious punishment, most will remain out of the court system permanently.
