DUI/DWI clients that are involved in drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers are generally there on their own accord, but usually in alcohol and drug rehab as part of a mandated court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, particularly initial offenders could be ordered to rehab either instead of other consequences or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from treatment as an alternative to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the court system. It has been determined that individuals who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues as opposed to other penalties being forced upon them have greater odds of remaining out from the court system than those who find themselves fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In alcohol and drug treatment facilities DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse alcohol and drugs, so that they can address these problems in order to find resolution for the actual conditions and circumstances in their lives which set off their substance abuse. This will certainly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who may be affected by their substance abuse should they drive while under the influence in the future. It is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
