Unfortunately, it's true that millions of people choose to drive an automobile while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Doing this not just puts one's life in danger and puts passengers in danger too, but being caught driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will almost always bring about serious penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, fines and also jail time. Sometimes someone 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 provide DUI and DWI Offenders drug treatment as an alternative to other severe penalties because of their crime. Agreeing or obliging to take part in alcohol and drug treatment as a DUI/DWI Offender may not completely eradicate other penalties from the crime, but could decrease the degree of such consequences to a large degree. Particularly if the person willingly participates in drug and alcohol rehabilitation and is a first-time offender. Studies show that lots of those who do receive alcohol and drug rehab for a DUI/DWI offense stay out of the court system for similar charges in the future.
