Unfortunately, it is a fact that tens of millions of people choose to operate a vehicle while intoxicated by alcohol or drugs. Doing this not only puts one's life at risk and puts passengers among others at risk also, 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, monetary penalties and in many cases incarceration. Quite often somebody who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately struggles with an underlying drug abuse challenge. A legal court system knows this, and it is therefore inclined to provide DUI and DWI Offenders alcohol and drug treatment instead of other severe penalties for his or her crime. Agreeing or obliging to participate in drug rehab as a DUI/DWI Offender might not completely eradicate other effects of the crime, but can decrease the seriousness of such penalties to some great extent. Specifically if the person willingly takes part in alcohol and drug rehab and is a first time offender. Research has shown that lots of folks who do receive drug rehabilitation for a DUI/DWI offense stay out of the courts for comparable charges in the future.
