DUI/DWI clients who are taking part in drug rehabilitation centers are generally there by their own choice, but usually in drug and alcohol rehab due to a mandated order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, specifically initial offenders could possibly be ordered to rehabilitation either in lieu of other consequences or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from treatment as opposed to being punished for their crimes, and so can the court system. It has been established that individuals who are treated for drug abuse issues instead of other penalties being enforced upon them have far better odds of remaining out from the court system than those who find themselves fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In drug and alcohol rehab programs DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to enable them to address these problems and find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances in their lives which trigger their drug or alcohol use. This may certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who may be affected by their drug or alcohol use should they drive while under the influence later on. It's a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
