DUI/DWI clients who're involved in drug and alcohol rehab centers are either there by their own choice, but usually in alcohol and drug rehabilitation due to a mandated court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, especially first-time offenders might be required to go to rehabilitation either in place of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from treatment as an alternative to being punished for their crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been determined that people who are treated for drug abuse issues instead of other penalties being enforced upon them have much better chances of remaining out from the courts than those people who are fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In drug and alcohol treatment centers DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to be able to address these problems in order to find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances within their lives which prompt their drug abuse. This can certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who may be impacted by their drug or alcohol use if they drive while drunk or high in the future. It is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
