"Alternative DUI sentencing has been a godsend for thousands of people trapped in alcohol-addiction.

Qualifying for an Alternative Sentence After a DUI Conviction

Alternative sentences are available if you are convicted of a DUI in California. The state and the various counties in the Los Angeles area have programs available for people charged with multiple DUIs if those charges have occurred over a relatively short period of time. Punishing you for an alcohol or substance abuse problem does not serve anyone's best interests. By sending you to jail, you may not be getting the help you need. Furthermore, incarcerating you costs the state a substantial amount of money.
