Unfortunately, it's true that millions of people choose to drive a vehicle while intoxicated by drugs or alcohol. Doing this not only puts one's life at risk and puts passengers and others at risk too, but being caught driving drunk (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will almost always lead to severe penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, fines as well as incarceration. Quite often a person who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately struggles with an underlying substance abuse challenge. A legal court system understands this, and is therefore inclined to provide DUI and DWI Offenders drug and alcohol rehabilitation rather than other severe consequences for his or her crime. Agreeing or obliging to take part in drug and alcohol rehab as a DUI/DWI Offender may not completely get rid of other effects from the crime, but could decrease the seriousness of such penalties to some great extent. Particularly if the individual willingly takes part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation and is a first-time offender. Studies have shown that a large percentage of individuals who do receive drug rehab because of a DUI/DWI offense stay out of the court system for comparable charges down the road.
