DUI/DWI clients that are taking part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers are generally there by their own choice, but most of the time in drug and alcohol rehab due to a mandatory court order. DUI/DWI clients, particularly initial offenders may be ordered to rehab either in place of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from rehabilitation instead of being punished because of their crimes, and so can the court system. It has been proven that individuals who are treated for substance abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being forced upon them have far better chances of staying out from the court system than people who find themselves fined, ordered to incarceration, etc. In drug treatment programs DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to enable them 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 truly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be affected by their drug abuse whenever they drive while intoxicated later on. It's a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
