Unfortunately, it's true that millions of people actually choose to drive a vehicle while intoxicated by alcohol or drugs. Doing this not simply puts one's life in danger and puts passengers in danger also, but being caught driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) will usually cause serious penalties including driver's license suspension or cancellation, monetary penalties and also incarceration. Quite often somebody 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 offer DUI and DWI Offenders drug rehab instead of other severe penalties for his or her crime. Agreeing or obliging to participate in drug rehabilitation as a DUI/DWI Offender might not exactly completely eradicate other penalties from the crime, but sometimes decrease the seriousness of such penalties to some large degree. Specifically if the person willingly participates drug treatment and is also a first-time offender. Studies show that a large proportion of individuals who do receive drug and alcohol rehab for a DUI/DWI offense stay out of the courts for similar charges in the future.
