Unfortunately, it's true that millions of people decide to drive a vehicle while intoxicated by alcohol or drugs. Doing so not merely puts one's life in danger and puts passengers among others in danger also, 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, fines and also time in jail. Often times a person who has been found guilty of DUI or DWI ultimately has an underlying substance abuse challenge. A legal court system knows this, and is therefore inclined to provide DUI and DWI Offenders alcohol and drug rehab rather than other serious penalties for his or her crime. Agreeing or obliging to take part in drug rehab as a DUI/DWI Offender may not completely get rid of other penalties of the crime, but can decrease the severity of such penalties to some large degree. Particularly if the individual willingly participates drug and alcohol rehab and is also a first-time offender. Research has shown that a large percentage of folks who do receive drug rehabilitation because of a DUI/DWI offense stay out of the courts for comparable charges in the future.
