DUI/DWI clients who're taking part in drug and alcohol treatment facilities are either there on their own accord, but most of the time in drug and alcohol treatment due to a mandated court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, specifically initial offenders might be required to go to treatment either instead of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from treatment instead of being punished for their crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been established that individuals who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues as opposed to other penalties being enforced upon them have far better odds of remaining out of the court system than those people who are fined, ordered to incarceration, etc. In drug treatment programs DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse drugs and alcohol, so that they can address these issues in order to find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances within their lives which set off their substance abuse. This could certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people that may be affected by their drug abuse when they drive while under the influence later on. It's a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
