Unfortunately, the simple truth is that tens of millions of people decide to drive a vehicle while intoxicated by drugs or alcohol. Doing so not just puts one's life in danger and puts passengers among others at risk as well, but being caught driving while impaired (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will almost always bring about serious penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, monetary penalties and in many cases jail time. Sometimes someone who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately struggles with an underlying drug abuse issue. The court system understands this, and it is therefore inclined to provide DUI and DWI Offenders drug rehabilitation rather than other severe consequences for crime. Agreeing or obliging to take part in alcohol and drug rehab as a DUI/DWI Offender may not completely eliminate other effects of the crime, but could decrease the degree of such penalties to some large degree. Specifically if the person willingly takes part in drug and alcohol rehab and is a first-time offender. Studies have shown that lots of people who do receive drug rehab because of a DUI/DWI offense stay out of the court system for comparable charges in the future.
