DUI/DWI offenders in Bishop, California are occasionally given the option to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab facility in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for these types of offenses can occasionally be quite severe, and may include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for first time offenders, the judge may decide that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Bishop that are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process instead of other additional severe consequences, many will remain out of the court system for good.
