DUI/DWI offenders in Anaheim are occasionally given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug and alcohol treatment center as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for such crimes can ordinarily be very harsh, and may include jail time and substantial fines and other significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Anaheim, California that are lucky enough to be able to participate in this rehab process instead of other more serious punishment, a great number will remain away from the court system for good.
