DUI/DWI clients who're taking part in drug rehabilitation programs are generally there by their own choice, but usually in drug and alcohol rehabilitation due to a mandated court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, especially initial offenders could possibly be required to go to treatment either in lieu of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from rehab rather than being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the court system. It has been determined that individuals who are treated for drug abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being enforced upon them have greater odds of remaining out of the court system than those people who are fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In drug rehabilitation programs DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse alcohol and drugs, so that they can address these issues in order to find resolution to the actual conditions and circumstances inside their lives which trigger their drug abuse. This may certainly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be affected by their drug or alcohol use whenever they drive while drunk or high in the future. It's a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
