Unfortunately, it is a fact that millions of people actually choose to drive a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Doing this not merely puts one's life in danger and puts passengers and others at risk as well, but being caught driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will usually lead to severe penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, monetary penalties as well as incarceration. Quite often anyone who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately has an underlying drug abuse challenge. The court system understands this, and is therefore inclined to provide DUI and DWI Offenders drug rehab rather than other serious penalties for crime. Agreeing or obliging to take part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation as a DUI/DWI Offender might not exactly completely get rid of other penalties of the crime, but can decrease the severity of such consequences to some great extent. Particularly if the individual willingly participates in drug treatment and is a first time offender. Research indicates that lots of folks who do receive drug rehab because of a DUI/DWI offense avoid the courts for similar charges in the future.
