DUI/DWI clients that are involved in drug treatment programs are either there by their own choice, but more often than not in alcohol and drug rehab due to a mandatory court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, specifically first-time offenders could possibly be ordered to rehab either in place of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from rehab instead of being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the court system. It has been established that those who are treated for substance abuse issues instead of other penalties being enforced upon them have far better odds of staying out of the court system than people who find themselves fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In drug treatment centers DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to enable them to address these issues and find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances inside their lives which trigger their drug or alcohol use. This may certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who may be affected by their drug or alcohol use should they drive while intoxicated in the foreseeable future. It is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
