Regrettably, the simple truth is that millions of people actually choose to drive an automobile while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Doing this not just puts one's life in danger and puts passengers and others in danger 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, fines and even jail time. Sometimes anyone who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately has an underlying drug abuse challenge. The court system understands this, and it is therefore inclined to provide DUI and DWI Offenders drug treatment rather than other extreme penalties for their crime. Agreeing or obliging to participate in drug and alcohol rehabilitation as a DUI/DWI Offender may not completely get rid of other penalties from the crime, but tends to decrease the degree of such consequences to a great extent. Particularly if the person willingly takes part in drug rehabilitation and is also a first time offender. Studies show that lots of folks who do receive drug rehabilitation because of a DUI/DWI offense stay out of the court system for similar charges in the future.
