DUI/DWI offenders in Riverside, CA. are occasionally given the opportunity to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab center as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can often be rather extreme, including jail time and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for new offenders, the court may decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Riverside who are fortunate enough to be able to take part in such treatment in lieu of other far more serious punishment, many will remain away from the court system for good.
