DUI/DWI clients that are taking part in alcohol and drug treatment programs are either there by their own choice, but usually in alcohol and drug rehabilitation due to a mandated order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders could be ordered to rehabilitation either instead of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from rehab as an alternative to being punished for their crimes, and so can the court system. It has been determined that people who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues instead of other penalties being enforced upon them have much better odds of staying out from the court system than those who find themselves fined, ordered to incarceration, etc. In alcohol and drug rehab centers DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse alcohol and drugs, in order to address these issues and find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances inside their lives which trigger their drug or alcohol use. This can certainly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be impacted by their substance abuse whenever they drive while under the influence in the future. It's a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
