DUI/DWI clients that are involved in alcohol and drug treatment programs are generally there by their own choice, but more often than not in drug and alcohol rehabilitation as part of a mandated court order. DUI/DWI clients, particularly initial offenders could be ordered to rehab either instead of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from rehabilitation as opposed to being punished because of their crimes, and so can the court system. It has been proven that individuals who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues instead of other penalties being enforced upon them have greater chances of staying out from the courts than those who find themselves fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In alcohol and drug rehab centers DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to be able to address these issues in order to find resolution for the actual conditions and circumstances in their lives which set off their drug abuse. This can truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who may be affected by their drug or alcohol use whenever they drive while drunk or high down the road. This is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
