Unfortunately, it is a fact that tens of millions of people actually choose to operate a vehicle while intoxicated by alcohol or drugs. Doing so not only puts one's life at risk and puts passengers and others at risk too, but being caught driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will typically lead to serious penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, fines as well as prison time. Sometimes someone who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately struggles with an underlying drug abuse problem. A legal court system knows this, and is therefore inclined to offer DUI and DWI Offenders drug rehab instead of other serious penalties for crime. Agreeing or obliging to take part in drug rehab as a DUI/DWI Offender may not completely get rid of other consequences from the crime, but sometimes decrease the degree of such consequences to a large degree. Particularly if the person willingly takes part in drug and alcohol treatment and is a first-time offender. Research indicates that lots of folks who do receive alcohol and drug rehabilitation for a DUI/DWI offense avoid the court system for comparable charges later on.
