DUI/DWI clients who're taking part in drug and alcohol rehab facilities are either there by their own choice, but most of the time in drug and alcohol rehab due to a mandated court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, specifically first-time offenders might be required to go to treatment either instead of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from rehabilitation instead of being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been verified that individuals who are treated for drug abuse issues as opposed to other penalties being forced upon them have far better chances of staying out of the courts than those people who are fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In drug and alcohol rehab facilities DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse alcohol and drugs, so that they can address these problems and find resolution for the actual conditions and circumstances within their lives which trigger their drug abuse. This may truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be affected by their substance abuse when they drive while drunk or high down the road. It is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
