Regrettably, it is a fact that millions of people choose to drive a vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Doing so not only puts one's life in danger and puts passengers among others at risk too, but being caught driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will almost always cause severe penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, monetary penalties and also incarceration. In many cases a person who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately struggles with an underlying drug abuse problem. The court system knows this, and it is therefore inclined to provide DUI and DWI Offenders drug and alcohol rehab as an alternative to other severe consequences because of their crime. Agreeing or obliging to take part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation as a DUI/DWI Offender might not exactly completely eradicate other penalties of the crime, but could decrease the seriousness of such penalties to some great extent. Particularly if the person willingly participates drug and alcohol treatment and is also a first-time offender. Studies show that lots of those who do receive alcohol and drug rehab because of a DUI/DWI offense avoid the court system for comparable charges down the road.
