Unfortunately, it's true that millions of people choose to drive a vehicle while intoxicated by drugs or alcohol. Doing this not simply puts one's life at risk and puts passengers and others at risk at the same time, but being caught driving drunk (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will usually result in serious penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, monetary penalties and also incarceration. Sometimes somebody who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately struggles with an underlying substance abuse challenge. A legal court system understands this, and it is therefore inclined to provide DUI and DWI Offenders drug and alcohol rehab instead of other severe penalties because of their crime. Agreeing or obliging to take part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation as a DUI/DWI Offender might not exactly completely get rid of other effects of the crime, but sometimes decrease the seriousness of such penalties to some large degree. Particularly if the person willingly takes part in alcohol and drug rehab and is also a first time offender. Research indicates that a large proportion of folks who do receive drug and alcohol rehabilitation for a DUI/DWI offense stay out of the courts for similar charges in the future.
