DUI/DWI clients who're involved in alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities are either there on their own accord, but more often than not in drug and alcohol rehab due to a mandated court order. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders could be required to go to treatment either in place of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from treatment as an alternative to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the court system. It has been proven that people who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues as an alternative to other penalties being forced upon them have much better odds of staying out from the courts than people who find themselves fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In drug and alcohol rehab facilities DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to enable them to address these problems and find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances in their lives which trigger their substance abuse. This can truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who may be impacted by their substance abuse when they drive while intoxicated later on. It is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
