DUI/DWI clients who're involved in alcohol and drug rehab centers are generally there on their own accord, but more often than not in drug rehabilitation as part of a mandatory court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders may be ordered to rehab either in place of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from rehab rather than being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the court system. It has been established that those who are treated for substance abuse issues as opposed to other penalties being forced upon them have far better odds of staying out from the courts than people who find themselves fined, ordered to incarceration, etc. In drug rehabilitation centers DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to be able to address these problems in order to find resolution for the actual conditions and circumstances in their lives which trigger their substance abuse. This may certainly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who may be affected by their drug abuse whenever they drive while drunk or high later on. It's a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
