DUI/DWI clients that are involved in drug and alcohol rehab facilities are either there by their own choice, but more often than not in drug treatment as part of a mandatory order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, particularly initial offenders could possibly be ordered to rehab either in lieu of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from rehab instead of being punished because of their crimes, and so can the court system. It has been verified that those who are treated for drug abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being enforced upon them have much better odds of staying out from the courts than those who are fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse alcohol and drugs, so that they can address these problems in order to find resolution for the actual conditions and circumstances in their lives which prompt their substance abuse. This can truly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people that may be affected by their drug or alcohol use whenever they drive while under the influence in the foreseeable future. This is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
