DUI/DWI clients that are taking part in drug and alcohol rehab programs are either there by their own choice, but more often than not in drug and alcohol rehabilitation due to a mandated order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, specifically initial offenders might be required to go to rehabilitation either in lieu 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 determined that those who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues instead of other penalties being forced upon them have greater odds of staying out from the courts than those people who are fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In drug and alcohol rehab centers DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse alcohol and drugs, in order to address these problems and find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances within their lives which trigger their drug abuse. This may truly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be affected by their substance abuse whenever they drive while under the influence in the foreseeable future. It's a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
