Sadly, the simple truth is that millions of people actually choose to drive a vehicle while intoxicated by drugs or alcohol. Doing this not only puts one's life in danger and puts passengers and others at risk also, but being caught driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will typically bring about severe penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, fines and also jail time. Sometimes anyone who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately struggles with an underlying drug abuse challenge. A legal court system understands this, and is therefore inclined to provide DUI and DWI Offenders drug rehabilitation instead of other extreme penalties for crime. Agreeing or obliging to take part in drug treatment as a DUI/DWI Offender might not exactly completely eradicate other consequences of the crime, but sometimes decrease the severity of such consequences to some large degree. Specifically if the individual willingly takes part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation and is a first-time offender. Research has shown that a large percentage of those who do receive alcohol and drug rehab for a DUI/DWI offense stay out of the court system for comparable charges down the road.
