DUI/DWI clients who are taking part in drug rehab programs are either there on their own accord, but usually in alcohol and drug treatment due to a mandated court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, especially initial offenders could be ordered to rehab either instead of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from rehab as opposed to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been proven that people who are treated for substance abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being enforced upon them have greater odds of staying out of the court system than those who are fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse drugs and alcohol, in order to address these issues and find resolution for the actual conditions and circumstances inside their lives which prompt their drug abuse. This could certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be affected by their drug abuse should they drive while intoxicated in the foreseeable future. It's a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
