DUI/DWI clients who're taking part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs are either there on their own accord, but generally in alcohol and drug treatment due to a mandatory order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, specifically initial offenders could possibly be ordered to rehabilitation either instead of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from rehab as opposed to 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 rather than other penalties being enforced upon them have much better odds of staying out of the court system than those who are fined, ordered to incarceration, etc. In alcohol and drug rehab centers DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to enable them to address these issues in order to find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances within their lives which prompt their substance abuse. This may truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be impacted by their substance abuse if they drive while drunk or high in the foreseeable future. This is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
