Unfortunately, it is a fact that tens of millions of people decide to drive an automobile while intoxicated by alcohol or drugs. Doing this not just puts one's life at risk and puts passengers in danger also, but being caught driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will usually cause serious penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, fines and even jail time. Sometimes anyone who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately has an underlying drug abuse challenge. A legal court system knows this, and is therefore inclined to provide DUI and DWI Offenders alcohol and drug treatment rather than other extreme consequences for crime. Agreeing or obliging to take part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation as a DUI/DWI Offender might not exactly completely eradicate other consequences of the crime, but sometimes decrease the severity of such consequences to a great extent. Particularly if the individual willingly takes part in drug treatment and is also a first-time offender. Research indicates that a large percentage of folks who do receive drug and alcohol rehab because of a DUI/DWI offense stay out of the court system for comparable charges in the future.
