Regrettably, it's true that millions of people choose to operate a vehicle while intoxicated by drugs or alcohol. Doing so not merely puts one's life at risk and puts passengers in danger also, but being caught driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will typically bring about serious penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, fines as well as jail time. Quite often anyone who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately struggles with an underlying drug abuse issue. The court system understands this, and it is therefore inclined to offer DUI and DWI Offenders alcohol and drug rehab rather than other severe penalties for crime. Agreeing or obliging to take part in drug rehabilitation as a DUI/DWI Offender might not exactly completely get rid of other penalties of the crime, but could decrease the degree of such consequences to a great extent. Specifically if the person willingly participates drug treatment and is also a first-time offender. Research indicates that a large percentage of those who do receive alcohol and drug rehab for a DUI/DWI offense avoid the court system for similar charges later on.
