Sadly, it is a fact that tens of millions of people choose to operate a vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Doing this not merely puts one's life in danger and puts passengers among others at risk too, but being caught driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will more often than not bring about serious penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, monetary penalties as well as prison time. Sometimes somebody who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately struggles with an underlying drug abuse challenge. A legal court system understands this, and it is therefore inclined to provide DUI and DWI Offenders alcohol and drug rehabilitation instead of other extreme consequences because of their crime. Agreeing or obliging to participate in drug and alcohol treatment as a DUI/DWI Offender may not completely eliminate other consequences from the crime, but could decrease the degree of such consequences to some great extent. Particularly if the individual willingly participates in drug treatment and is also a first-time offender. Studies have shown that a large percentage of folks who do receive drug and alcohol rehabilitation for a DUI/DWI offense stay out of the court system for similar charges in the future.
