DUI/DWI clients who're involved in alcohol and drug rehab programs are either there on their own accord, but more often than not in alcohol and drug rehab due to a mandatory court order. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders could possibly be required to go to rehab either in place of other consequences or as a part of a 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 individuals who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues as an alternative to other penalties being forced upon them have far better chances of staying out from the courts than those people who are fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In drug rehabilitation facilities DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse drugs and alcohol, in order to address these problems and find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances inside their lives which trigger their substance abuse. This can certainly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be affected by their substance abuse should they drive while intoxicated in the future. It is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
