Sadly, it is a fact that tens of millions of people make the decision to drive a vehicle while intoxicated by drugs or alcohol. This not simply puts one's life in danger and puts passengers and others at risk at the same time, but being caught driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will typically result in serious penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, fines and also time in jail. Quite often anyone who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately struggles with an underlying substance abuse problem. The court system knows this, and it is therefore inclined to provide DUI and DWI Offenders drug rehab instead of other severe consequences for their crime. Agreeing or obliging to take part in drug rehab as a DUI/DWI Offender might not exactly completely eliminate other consequences of the crime, but could decrease the degree of such consequences to some large degree. Specifically if the person willingly participates alcohol and drug rehab and is also a first time offender. Studies have shown that a large percentage of folks who do receive drug and alcohol rehabilitation because of a DUI/DWI offense stay out of the court system for comparable charges in the future.
