DUI/DWI offenders in Avery, California are occasionally given the option to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab program instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. Penalties for these types of criminal offenses can often be rather serious, and may include being locked up in jail and significant fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for initial offenders, the court will decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Avery that are fortunate enough to be able to participate in this rehab process instead of other more severe penalties, many will remain away from the criminal justice system for good.
