DUI/DWI clients who're taking part in drug rehabilitation centers are either there by their own choice, but most of the time in drug and alcohol rehabilitation 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 consequences or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from rehab as an alternative to being punished because of their crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been established that people who are treated for substance abuse issues as opposed to other penalties being forced upon them have much better odds of staying out of the court system than people who find themselves fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse drugs and alcohol, in order to address these problems in order to find resolution to the actual conditions and circumstances inside their lives which set off their drug abuse. This can truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be affected by their substance abuse should they drive while under the influence in the future. It is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
