DUI/DWI clients that are involved in alcohol and drug rehab centers are either there on their own accord, but generally in drug and alcohol rehabilitation as part of a mandated court order. DUI/DWI clients, especially initial offenders could possibly be required to go to rehabilitation either in place of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from rehab as an alternative to being punished for their crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been proven that individuals who are treated for substance abuse issues as opposed to other penalties being enforced upon them have much better odds of staying out from the court system than those people who are fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to be able to address these problems and find resolution for the actual conditions and circumstances in their lives which prompt their substance abuse. This will certainly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who may be impacted by their drug abuse should they drive while under the influence in the foreseeable future. It's a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
