DUI/DWI clients who are taking part in alcohol and drug rehab centers are either there by their own choice, but usually in drug treatment as part of a mandated court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, specifically first-time offenders may be required to go to treatment either in lieu of other consequences or as part of their 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 verified that individuals who are treated for substance abuse issues instead of other penalties being forced upon them have greater chances of remaining out of the court system than people who find themselves fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In drug and alcohol treatment facilities DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse alcohol and drugs, so that they can address these problems and find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances inside their lives which prompt their drug or alcohol use. This can certainly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who may be impacted by their substance abuse should they drive while intoxicated down the road. It's a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
