DUI/DWI clients who're involved in alcohol and drug rehab programs are generally there by their own choice, but most of the time in drug rehab as part of a mandatory court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders could possibly be required to go to rehab either in lieu of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from rehabilitation as an alternative to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the court system. It has been proven that individuals who are treated for substance abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being enforced upon them have much better odds of staying out from the court system than those who are fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In alcohol and drug rehab centers DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to be able to address these issues in order to find resolution to the actual conditions and circumstances inside their lives which set off their substance abuse. This may truly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people that may be affected by their drug abuse when they drive while drunk or high in the foreseeable future. It is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
