DUI/DWI clients that are involved in drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities are generally there by their own choice, but generally in alcohol and drug rehabilitation due to a mandated court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders might be ordered to rehabilitation either instead of other consequences or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from treatment instead of being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been proven that individuals who are treated for substance abuse issues as opposed to other penalties being enforced upon them have much better odds of remaining out from the courts than those who find themselves fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In drug treatment facilities DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse drugs and alcohol, so that they can address these problems and find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances in their lives which set off their drug or alcohol use. This may certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be impacted by their substance abuse when they drive while under the influence later on. It's a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
