Sadly, it is a fact that millions of people choose to operate a vehicle while intoxicated by alcohol or drugs. This not simply puts one's life at risk and puts passengers among others in danger too, but being caught driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will typically cause serious penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, fines and even incarceration. Sometimes somebody who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately struggles with an underlying drug abuse problem. A legal court system understands this, and it is therefore inclined to provide DUI and DWI Offenders drug rehab instead of other extreme penalties for his or her crime. Agreeing or obliging to take part in drug treatment as a DUI/DWI Offender might not completely eliminate other consequences from the crime, but sometimes decrease the severity of such consequences to some great extent. Specifically if the individual willingly takes part in drug rehabilitation and is also a first time offender. Research has shown that a lot of those who do receive drug and alcohol rehabilitation for a DUI/DWI offense stay out of the court system for comparable charges in the future.
