DUI/DWI clients that are taking part in drug treatment facilities are generally there by their own choice, but usually in drug and alcohol rehab as part of a mandatory court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, specifically initial offenders could possibly be ordered to rehab either in place of other consequences or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from rehabilitation instead of being punished because of their crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been proven that people who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues as an alternative to other penalties being forced upon them have much better odds of staying out of the courts than those who are fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In drug and alcohol treatment facilities DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to enable them to address these problems in order to find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances within their lives which set off their drug abuse. This could truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be affected by their drug or alcohol use should they drive while drunk or high later on. It's a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
