Regrettably, the simple truth is that tens of millions of people decide to drive an automobile while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Doing this not only puts one's life at risk and puts passengers and others in danger also, but being caught driving while impaired (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will usually bring about serious penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, fines and also jail time. Sometimes anyone who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately struggles with an underlying drug abuse challenge. The court system knows this, and is therefore inclined to offer DUI and DWI Offenders drug treatment rather than other severe penalties for his or her crime. Agreeing or obliging to take part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation as a DUI/DWI Offender may not completely eliminate other effects from the crime, but sometimes decrease the degree of such consequences to a great extent. Particularly if the individual willingly takes part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation and is also a first time offender. Research has shown that a large percentage of people who do receive drug rehabilitation because of a DUI/DWI offense stay out of the court system for comparable charges in the future.
