Unfortunately, it is a fact that tens of millions of people decide to drive a vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. This not only puts one's life in danger and puts passengers among others in danger too, but being caught driving while impaired (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will almost always bring about severe penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, monetary penalties and in many cases prison time. Sometimes someone who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately has an underlying drug abuse challenge. The court system understands this, and it is therefore inclined to offer DUI and DWI Offenders drug and alcohol rehab as an alternative to other serious penalties for their crime. Agreeing or obliging to take part in drug rehab as a DUI/DWI Offender might not exactly completely get rid of other effects from the crime, but can decrease the seriousness of such consequences to a large degree. Specifically if the person willingly participates drug rehab and is a first-time offender. Research has shown that a lot of folks who do receive alcohol and drug rehab because of a DUI/DWI offense stay out of the court system for comparable charges in the future.
