DUI/DWI clients who're taking part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs are generally there on their own accord, but more often than not in alcohol and drug rehab as part of a mandated court order. DUI/DWI clients, particularly initial offenders could possibly be ordered to rehabilitation either instead of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from treatment as opposed to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the court system. It has been proven that those who are treated for drug abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being enforced upon them have greater chances of staying out of the court system than those people who are fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In drug and alcohol rehab programs DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse drugs and alcohol, in order to address these problems in order to find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances in their lives which prompt their drug or alcohol use. This can truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be impacted by their drug abuse whenever they drive while drunk or high down the road. This is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
