DUI/DWI clients that are taking part in drug and alcohol rehab centers are generally there by their own choice, but more often than not in drug rehabilitation due to a mandated court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, specifically first-time offenders could possibly be required to go to rehabilitation either instead of other consequences or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from rehab as an alternative to being punished for their crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been established that those who are treated for substance abuse issues rather than other penalties being forced upon them have greater odds of staying out of the court system than people who find themselves fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In drug rehab centers DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse alcohol and drugs, in order to address these problems and find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances in their lives which trigger their drug abuse. This will certainly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be impacted by their substance abuse whenever they drive while drunk or high down the road. This is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
