Do all addict's commit crimes?

No, this is not something that happens all the time, and in fact; most addicts are not out committing crimes to fuel their addiction, but it does occur. The most common offenses are DUIs or DWIs, which is a life-altering situation for the person. It will take years and thousands of dollars to get through this problem. A DUI court will order some type of help for the offender, regardless if they have a history of addiction or not.
