DUI/DWI clients who're involved in alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs are generally there by their own choice, but generally in alcohol and drug rehabilitation due to a mandatory order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, especially first-time offenders may be ordered to rehabilitation either in lieu of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from rehab as opposed to being punished for their crimes, and so can the court system. It has been determined that people who are treated for substance abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being forced upon them have much better chances of remaining out from the courts than those people who are fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to enable them to address these problems and find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances inside their lives which trigger their drug abuse. This can truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be impacted by their drug or alcohol use should they drive while under the influence down the road. It's a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
