Unfortunately, it is a fact that tens of millions of people decide to operate a vehicle while intoxicated by drugs or alcohol. Doing so not just puts one's life in danger and puts passengers and others in danger as well, but being caught driving drunk (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will typically cause severe penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, monetary penalties and even prison time. Often times somebody who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately struggles with an underlying drug abuse challenge. The court system knows this, and is therefore inclined to provide DUI and DWI Offenders drug rehabilitation instead of other extreme penalties for his or her crime. Agreeing or obliging to take part in alcohol and drug treatment as a DUI/DWI Offender might not completely eliminate other penalties from the crime, but can decrease the degree of such consequences to some great extent. Specifically if the individual willingly participates in drug and alcohol rehabilitation and is a first-time offender. Studies have shown that a large percentage of folks who do receive drug rehabilitation for a DUI/DWI offense avoid the court system for comparable charges in the future.
