DUI/DWI offenders in Willits, California are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in a drug rehabilitation program in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for these kinds of criminal offenses can ordinarily be very extreme, and may include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and various significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for new offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Willits that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other more extreme penalties, a great number will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
