DUI/DWI clients that are taking part in drug and alcohol 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, especially initial offenders could possibly be required to go to rehab either instead of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from treatment as opposed to being punished for their crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been verified that those who are treated for drug abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being enforced upon them have far better chances of remaining out from the court system than those who find themselves fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In drug and alcohol rehab facilities DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to be able to address these issues in order to find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances within their lives which set off their drug or alcohol use. This can certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people that may be affected by their substance abuse if they drive while under the influence in the future. This is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
