Unfortunately, it is a fact that millions of people decide to drive an automobile while intoxicated by drugs or alcohol. Doing so not merely puts one's life at risk and puts passengers among others at risk too, but being caught driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will almost always lead to serious penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, fines and in many cases time in jail. Sometimes a person who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately has an underlying substance abuse challenge. The court system knows this, and it is therefore inclined to provide DUI and DWI Offenders alcohol and drug treatment instead of other severe consequences for his or her crime. Agreeing or obliging to take part in drug rehab as a DUI/DWI Offender might not completely eradicate other effects of the crime, but could decrease the degree of such consequences to some great extent. Specifically if the individual willingly participates in alcohol and drug rehabilitation and is also a first time offender. Studies show that a large percentage of folks who do receive alcohol and drug rehab because of a DUI/DWI offense stay out of the courts for comparable charges in the future.
