Unfortunately, it is a fact that tens of millions of people decide to operate a vehicle while intoxicated by alcohol or drugs. Doing this not only 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 more often than not bring about serious penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, fines as well as incarceration. In many cases a person who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately struggles with an underlying substance abuse challenge. The court system knows this, and is therefore inclined to provide DUI and DWI Offenders drug treatment rather than other severe consequences for crime. Agreeing or obliging to take part in drug rehab as a DUI/DWI Offender may not completely get rid of other effects from the crime, but can decrease the seriousness of such penalties to a great extent. Specifically if the person willingly participates in drug and alcohol treatment and is a first-time offender. Research has shown that lots of folks who do receive drug treatment because of a DUI/DWI offense avoid the courts for similar charges in the future.
