Regrettably, it's true that tens of millions of people actually choose to operate a vehicle while intoxicated by alcohol or drugs. Doing this not merely puts one's life in danger and puts passengers among others at risk also, but being caught driving while impaired (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will typically bring about severe penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, fines and also incarceration. Sometimes anyone who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately struggles with an underlying substance abuse issue. The court system knows this, and it is therefore inclined to provide DUI and DWI Offenders drug rehabilitation rather than other severe consequences because of their crime. Agreeing or obliging to participate in drug and alcohol rehabilitation as a DUI/DWI Offender may not completely eliminate other effects from the crime, but sometimes decrease the degree of such consequences to some great extent. Specifically if the individual willingly participates in drug rehabilitation and is also a first-time offender. Studies show that a large proportion of people who do receive drug and alcohol rehab because of a DUI/DWI offense stay out of the court system for similar charges down the road.
