DUI/DWI clients who are taking part in drug rehabilitation programs are generally there on their own accord, but most of the time in alcohol and drug rehabilitation as part of a mandatory order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, especially initial offenders could possibly be ordered to rehabilitation either instead of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from rehab instead of being punished because of their crimes, and so can the court system. It has been proven that individuals who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues instead of other penalties being forced upon them have much better odds of staying out of the court system than those who are fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In drug and alcohol rehab centers DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to be able to address these problems and find resolution for the actual conditions and circumstances within their lives which prompt their drug or alcohol use. This could truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be impacted by their substance abuse if they drive while under the influence in the future. It's a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
