DUI/DWI offenders in Hidden Hills, California are occasionally given the option to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehab facility in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for these kinds of crimes can ordinarily be quite harsh, which can include jail time and significant fines and even significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for new offenders, the judge finds that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Hidden Hills that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other more serious punishment, most will remain out of the court system permanently.
