Unfortunately, it is a fact that tens of millions of people decide to drive an automobile while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Doing so not just puts one's life in danger and puts passengers among others in danger as well, but being caught driving while impaired (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will usually lead to severe penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, monetary penalties and in many cases time in jail. Quite often someone who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately struggles with an underlying drug abuse challenge. A legal court system understands this, and it is therefore inclined to provide DUI and DWI Offenders drug rehabilitation rather than other extreme consequences because of their crime. Agreeing or obliging to take part in drug treatment as a DUI/DWI Offender might not exactly completely get rid of other effects of the crime, but sometimes decrease the degree of such consequences to a large degree. Particularly if the person willingly participates drug rehab and is a first time offender. Studies show that a large percentage of people who do receive alcohol and drug treatment because of a DUI/DWI offense stay out of the court system for similar charges in the future.
