DUI/DWI clients who're taking part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs are generally there by their own choice, but usually in drug rehab due to a mandatory court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, especially first-time offenders could be ordered to rehab either in lieu of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from rehab as opposed 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 enforced upon them have far better chances of remaining out of the court system than people who find themselves fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In drug treatment centers DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse drugs and alcohol, so that they can address these issues in order to find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances inside their lives which set off their drug abuse. This could truly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be impacted by their drug or alcohol use when they drive while under the influence in the future. This is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
