DUI/DWI clients who are involved in alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs are either there by their own choice, but usually in alcohol and drug rehabilitation as part of a mandatory court order. DUI/DWI clients, specifically initial offenders might be required to go to rehab either instead of other consequences or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from rehab as an alternative to being punished because of their crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been determined that people who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues instead of other penalties being enforced upon them have much better odds of staying out from the courts than people who find themselves fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In drug rehab facilities DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse drugs and alcohol, so that they can address these problems in order to find resolution for the actual conditions and circumstances within their lives which trigger their substance abuse. This could certainly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be impacted by their drug abuse whenever they drive while drunk or high later on. This is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
