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 in danger also, but being caught driving drunk (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will typically lead to serious penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, fines as well as incarceration. Sometimes someone who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately has an underlying substance abuse challenge. A legal court system understands this, and is therefore inclined to provide DUI and DWI Offenders alcohol and drug rehabilitation instead of other severe consequences for crime. Agreeing or obliging to take part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation as a DUI/DWI Offender may not completely eliminate other consequences from the crime, but can decrease the seriousness of such consequences to a great extent. Particularly if the individual willingly participates in alcohol and drug rehab and is a first time offender. Research has shown that a lot of those who do receive drug rehabilitation because of a DUI/DWI offense stay out of the courts for similar charges in the future.
