Unfortunately, it is a fact that millions of people choose to operate a vehicle while intoxicated by drugs or alcohol. This not only puts one's life in danger and puts passengers and others in danger as well, but being caught driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will typically bring about serious penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, monetary penalties and also time in jail. Sometimes somebody who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately struggles with an underlying drug abuse challenge. The court system understands this, and it is therefore inclined to offer DUI and DWI Offenders drug treatment instead of other extreme penalties because of their crime. Agreeing or obliging to participate in drug and alcohol rehabilitation as a DUI/DWI Offender may not completely eradicate other effects from the crime, but sometimes decrease the severity of such consequences to a great extent. Particularly if the person willingly participates in drug rehab and is a first-time offender. Research indicates 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 comparable charges down the road.
