Regrettably, it is a fact that millions of people actually choose to operate a vehicle while intoxicated by drugs or alcohol. Doing this not just puts one's life in danger and puts passengers and others at risk also, but being caught driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will almost always result in serious penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, monetary penalties as well as jail time. In many cases anyone who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately has an underlying drug abuse problem. A legal court system understands this, and it is therefore inclined to provide DUI and DWI Offenders drug treatment rather than other serious penalties because of their crime. Agreeing or obliging to take part in drug rehabilitation as a DUI/DWI Offender might not completely eradicate other effects of the crime, but could decrease the degree of such consequences to a large degree. Particularly if the person willingly takes part in alcohol and drug rehab and is a first-time offender. Studies have shown that a large percentage of people who do receive alcohol and drug rehab because of a DUI/DWI offense stay out of the courts for comparable charges in the future.
