Unfortunately, it is a fact that tens of millions of people make the decision to operate a vehicle while intoxicated by drugs or alcohol. Doing this not just puts one's life in danger and puts passengers among others in danger also, but being caught driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will usually bring about serious penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, monetary penalties and also jail time. Quite often someone who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately struggles with an underlying drug abuse problem. The court system understands this, and it is therefore inclined to provide DUI and DWI Offenders alcohol and drug rehabilitation instead of other extreme consequences because of their crime. Agreeing or obliging to take part in drug rehabilitation as a DUI/DWI Offender may not completely eliminate other penalties from the crime, but tends to decrease the degree of such consequences to some large degree. Specifically if the individual willingly participates in drug and alcohol rehabilitation and is also a first-time offender. Research indicates that a large percentage of folks who do receive alcohol and drug rehabilitation because of a DUI/DWI offense stay out of the court system for comparable charges in the future.
