DUI/DWI clients who are involved in drug and alcohol treatment facilities are either there by their own choice, but generally in drug and alcohol rehabilitation as part of a mandatory order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, specifically first-time offenders could possibly be ordered to rehab either instead of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from rehabilitation rather than being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been proven that those who are treated for substance abuse issues as opposed to other penalties being enforced upon them have far better odds of remaining out of the courts than people who find themselves fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In alcohol and drug treatment centers DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to be able to address these issues and find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances in their lives which set off their drug or alcohol use. This could truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who may be affected by their drug or alcohol use when they drive while drunk or high in the future. It's a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
