DUI/DWI clients that are taking part in alcohol and drug rehab programs are either there on their own accord, but most of the time in drug and alcohol rehabilitation due to a mandatory order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders could be required to go to treatment either in place of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from rehabilitation as an alternative to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been verified that individuals who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues rather than other penalties being enforced upon them have greater chances of remaining out from the court system than people who find themselves fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In drug and alcohol treatment facilities DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to be able to address these issues and find resolution for the actual conditions and circumstances within their lives which set off their substance abuse. This may certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be affected by their drug or alcohol use if they drive while under the influence later on. It's a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
