Regrettably, the simple truth is that millions of people decide to operate a vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Doing this not just puts one's life in danger and puts passengers in danger at the same time, but being caught driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will almost always bring about serious penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, fines as well as time in jail. Sometimes anyone who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately has an underlying substance abuse issue. The court system understands this, and it is therefore inclined to provide DUI and DWI Offenders drug rehab as an alternative to other serious penalties for crime. Agreeing or obliging to take part in alcohol and drug rehab as a DUI/DWI Offender may not completely eradicate other penalties from the crime, but tends to decrease the severity of such consequences to a great extent. Particularly if the individual willingly takes part in drug rehabilitation and is a first-time offender. Studies show that a large proportion of folks who do receive drug rehab because of a DUI/DWI offense avoid the court system for comparable charges in the future.
