DUI/DWI clients who are involved in alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers are either there by their own choice, but generally in alcohol and drug rehab as part of a mandated court order. DUI/DWI clients, specifically first-time offenders could possibly be ordered to treatment either instead of other consequences or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from rehab as opposed to being punished for their crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been established that individuals who are treated for drug abuse issues rather than other penalties being forced upon them have far better chances of staying out of the court system than those people who are fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In drug treatment programs DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse drugs and alcohol, in order to address these issues in order to find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances within their lives which prompt their drug abuse. This may certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who may be affected by their substance abuse if they drive while drunk or high in the foreseeable future. This is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
