DUI/DWI clients that are involved in alcohol and drug rehab facilities are generally there by their own choice, but generally in alcohol and drug treatment as part of a mandated court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, particularly initial offenders could be ordered to rehabilitation either instead 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 verified that those who are treated for substance abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being forced upon them have much better odds of staying out of the court system than those who are fined, ordered to incarceration, etc. In drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse drugs and alcohol, so that they can address these problems in order to find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances within their lives which set off their substance abuse. This can truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be affected by their drug or alcohol use if they drive while intoxicated in the future. It is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
