Regrettably, it's true that millions of people decide to operate a vehicle while intoxicated by drugs or alcohol. Doing so not simply puts one's life in danger and puts passengers at risk too, but being caught driving drunk (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will more often than not lead to severe penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, fines and also time in jail. In many cases a person who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately struggles with an underlying drug abuse problem. A legal court system understands this, and it is therefore inclined to provide DUI and DWI Offenders drug rehab rather than other serious consequences for crime. Agreeing or obliging to take part in drug rehabilitation as a DUI/DWI Offender may not completely eradicate other effects of the crime, but sometimes decrease the degree of such penalties to some great extent. Specifically if the person willingly participates in drug and alcohol treatment and is also a first time offender. Research indicates that a large proportion of those who do receive drug and alcohol rehab for a DUI/DWI offense stay out of the courts for comparable charges in the future.
