Unfortunately, it is a fact that tens of millions of people choose to operate a vehicle while intoxicated by drugs or alcohol. This not just puts one's life at risk and puts passengers and others at risk also, but being caught driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will usually bring about serious penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, monetary penalties and also jail time. Sometimes somebody who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately struggles with an underlying drug abuse challenge. A legal court system understands this, and is therefore inclined to offer DUI and DWI Offenders drug rehab as an alternative to other severe consequences for his or her crime. Agreeing or obliging to participate in drug rehabilitation as a DUI/DWI Offender might not exactly completely get rid of other consequences from the crime, but tends to decrease the seriousness of such penalties to a great extent. Specifically if the individual willingly takes part in drug treatment and is a first-time offender. Research indicates that a large proportion of people who do receive drug and alcohol rehab because of a DUI/DWI offense stay out of the court system for similar charges in the future.
