Sadly, it is a fact that millions of people decide to drive an automobile while intoxicated by drugs or alcohol. This not only puts one's life at risk and puts passengers and others in danger at the same time, but being caught driving drunk (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will almost always bring about severe penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, fines and in many cases jail time. Sometimes anyone who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately has an underlying substance abuse challenge. The court system understands this, and is therefore inclined to provide DUI and DWI Offenders drug and alcohol rehab instead of other severe penalties for their crime. Agreeing or obliging to take part in alcohol and drug rehab as a DUI/DWI Offender might not exactly completely eradicate other effects of the crime, but tends to decrease the severity of such penalties to some great extent. Particularly if the individual willingly participates in drug treatment and is a first-time offender. Research indicates that a lot of folks who do receive drug rehabilitation because of a DUI/DWI offense stay out of the courts for comparable charges in the future.
