DUI/DWI clients that are involved in drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers are generally there by their own choice, but more often than not in alcohol and drug rehabilitation as part of a mandated order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, especially first-time offenders could be ordered to rehab either instead of other consequences or as a part of a 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 instead of other penalties being enforced upon them have far better chances of remaining out from the courts than those who are fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In drug and alcohol treatment programs DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse drugs and alcohol, so that they can address these issues in order to find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances within their lives which set off their substance abuse. This will truly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be affected by their drug or alcohol use whenever they drive while drunk or high in the future. This is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
