DUI/DWI clients who are taking part in drug and alcohol treatment programs are either there by their own choice, but usually in alcohol and drug treatment due to a mandatory order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, specifically first-time offenders could possibly be ordered to rehab either instead of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from rehab instead of being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been established that those who are treated for substance abuse issues as opposed to other penalties being forced upon them have greater odds of remaining out of the courts than those who find themselves fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In drug treatment centers DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse alcohol and drugs, in order to address these problems and find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances in their lives which set off their drug or alcohol use. This will truly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be impacted by their drug abuse should they drive while under the influence later on. It is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
