DUI/DWI offenders in Truckee, California are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab center in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be quite severe, including incarceration and significant fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for initial offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Truckee that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process instead of other additional serious penalties, most will stay away from the court system permanently.
