DUI/DWI clients that are taking part in drug and alcohol treatment facilities are generally there on their own accord, but most of the time in alcohol and drug rehabilitation due to a mandated order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, particularly initial offenders might be required to go to rehab either in lieu of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from treatment as opposed to being punished for their crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been determined that those who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues as an alternative to other penalties being forced upon them have greater odds of remaining out from the courts than people who find themselves fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In alcohol and drug rehab centers DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse alcohol and drugs, so that they can address these issues in order to find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances inside their lives which prompt their drug abuse. This can truly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people that may be impacted by their drug abuse should they drive while intoxicated down the road. It is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
