DUI/DWI clients who are taking part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs are generally there on their own accord, but usually in drug and alcohol rehabilitation due to a mandatory order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, especially first-time offenders could possibly be required to go to treatment either in place of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from treatment as opposed to being punished for their crimes, and so can the court system. It has been proven that individuals who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues rather than other penalties being forced upon them have far better odds of staying out of the court system than those who find themselves fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In drug and alcohol rehab facilities DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to enable them to address these problems in order to find resolution to the actual conditions and circumstances inside their lives which trigger their drug abuse. This could truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who may be impacted by their drug abuse whenever they drive while under the influence later on. This is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
