In CA first time DUI offenders will likely be given a standard offer by the Prosecutor – keep in mind that every jurisdiction is different, so don’t rely on this without consulting your own attorney (either private counsel or a public defender): 3 years summary probation (some places require formal probation), fines and fees in excess of $1300 (or jail time in lieu of $$$), some sort of alcohol program, and possibly impounding your vehicle (usually if there are pretty bad circumstances).
But don’t take my word for it – consult an attorney in your jurisdiction.
