DUI/DWI clients who're involved in alcohol and drug rehab centers are generally there by their own choice, but more often than not in drug and alcohol treatment due to a mandated court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, specifically first-time offenders could possibly be required to go to rehabilitation either instead of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from rehab as an alternative to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the court system. It has been proven that people who are treated for substance abuse issues rather than other penalties being forced upon them have greater odds of staying out of the court system than those people who are fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In alcohol and drug rehab facilities DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to be able to address these issues in order to find resolution to the actual conditions and circumstances in their lives which trigger their substance abuse. This will certainly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be affected by their substance abuse when they drive while intoxicated in the future. It's a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
