DUI/DWI clients who're involved in drug rehabilitation programs are either there by their own choice, but most of the time in drug and alcohol rehab due to a mandatory court order. DUI/DWI clients, especially first-time offenders might be required to go to treatment either instead of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from rehab rather than being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been established that individuals who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues as an alternative to other penalties being forced upon them have much better chances of staying out from the court system than those who find themselves fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse alcohol and drugs, so that they can address these issues and find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances inside their lives which prompt their drug abuse. This can certainly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people that may be affected by their drug or alcohol use should they drive while under the influence later on. It's a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
