DUI/DWI clients who're taking part in alcohol and drug rehab centers are generally there on their own accord, but most of the time in alcohol and drug rehabilitation due to a mandated order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, especially first-time offenders may be required to go to treatment either in place of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from rehab as an alternative to being punished for their crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been established that individuals who are treated for substance abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being enforced upon them have far better odds of remaining out from the court system than those who are fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In drug treatment centers DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse drugs and alcohol, so that they can address these issues and find resolution to the actual conditions and circumstances within their lives which set off their drug or alcohol use. This can truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be impacted by their drug abuse should they drive while under the influence down the road. This is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
