DUI/DWI offenders in Winters, California are often given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehab facility in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for these kinds of offenses can often be very severe, and may include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and other significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for new offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Winters that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other additional extreme consequences, a great number will remain away from the court system for good.
