Regrettably, it is a fact that tens of millions of people actually choose to drive a vehicle while intoxicated by drugs or alcohol. This not merely puts one's life in danger and puts passengers among others in danger also, but being caught driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will almost always bring about serious penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, fines as well as incarceration. Quite often anyone who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately struggles with an underlying drug abuse problem. A legal court system understands this, and is therefore inclined to provide DUI and DWI Offenders drug rehab rather than other severe penalties for their crime. Agreeing or obliging to participate in alcohol and drug rehab as a DUI/DWI Offender may not completely get rid of other consequences of the crime, but tends to decrease the severity of such penalties to a great extent. Specifically if the individual willingly participates in drug treatment and is a first time offender. Research indicates that a large proportion of people who do receive drug and alcohol rehabilitation because of a DUI/DWI offense avoid the court system for comparable charges in the future.
