DUI/DWI clients who are taking part in drug treatment facilities are generally there on their own accord, but usually in drug and alcohol rehabilitation as part of a mandatory court order. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders might be required to go to rehabilitation either in place of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from treatment as an alternative to being punished because of their crimes, and so can the court system. It has been proven that those who are treated for substance abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being forced upon them have far better chances of remaining out from the courts than those who find themselves fined, ordered to incarceration, etc. In drug and alcohol treatment programs DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse alcohol and drugs, in order to address these issues and find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances inside their lives which set off their drug abuse. This will truly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be affected by their drug abuse whenever they drive while intoxicated in the foreseeable future. It's a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
