DUI/DWI clients who're taking part in drug treatment programs are either there on their own accord, but most of the time in drug rehabilitation due to a mandated order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, specifically first-time offenders may be ordered to rehab either in lieu of other consequences or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from rehabilitation as opposed to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been determined 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 from the court system than those who find themselves fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse alcohol and drugs, in order to address these issues in order to find resolution for the actual conditions and circumstances inside their lives which prompt their substance abuse. This can truly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people that may be affected by their substance abuse should they drive while intoxicated down the road. This is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
