DUI/DWI clients who're involved in alcohol and drug rehab facilities are generally there on their own accord, but more often than not in drug rehab due to a mandated order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, particularly initial offenders may be ordered to rehabilitation either instead of other penalties or as a part of a 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 determined that individuals who are treated for substance abuse issues as opposed to other penalties being enforced upon them have far better chances of remaining out from the courts than those who find themselves fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In alcohol and drug rehab facilities DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse drugs and alcohol, in order to address these issues and find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances in their lives which prompt their drug abuse. This can truly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be affected by their drug abuse if they drive while under the influence later on. This is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
