Unfortunately, the simple truth is that tens of millions of people make the decision to drive an automobile while intoxicated by alcohol or drugs. This not simply puts one's life at risk and puts passengers at risk at the same time, but being caught driving drunk (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will almost always lead to serious penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, monetary penalties and also time in jail. Quite often somebody who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately struggles with an underlying drug abuse problem. The court system knows this, and it is therefore inclined to provide DUI and DWI Offenders drug rehab instead of other extreme penalties because of their crime. Agreeing or obliging to participate in alcohol and drug rehab as a DUI/DWI Offender might not exactly completely get rid of other effects of the crime, but could decrease the degree of such consequences to a great extent. Specifically if the person willingly takes part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation and is also a first-time offender. Studies show that a large percentage of folks who do receive drug and alcohol rehabilitation because of a DUI/DWI offense avoid the courts for similar charges in the future.
