DUI/DWI clients who are taking part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs are generally there on their own accord, but usually in alcohol and drug rehab due to a mandatory court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, especially first-time offenders could possibly be ordered to treatment either in lieu of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from rehab instead of being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been verified that people who are treated for substance abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being forced upon them have much better chances of staying out from the court system than those who find themselves fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In alcohol and drug treatment facilities DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to enable them to address these issues in order to find resolution to the actual conditions and circumstances in their lives which set off their drug abuse. This may truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be affected by their substance abuse if they drive while under the influence later on. This is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
