DUI/DWI clients that are taking part in alcohol and drug rehab programs are generally there by their own choice, but usually in alcohol and drug rehab due to a mandatory order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders could possibly be ordered to rehab either in lieu of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from rehab as an alternative to being punished for their crimes, and so can the court system. It has been proven that those who are treated for drug abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being enforced upon them have much better chances of staying out from the court system than those people who are fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In drug and alcohol treatment centers DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to enable them to address these issues and find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances in their lives which trigger their drug or alcohol use. This can truly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be affected by their substance abuse if they drive while intoxicated down the road. It's a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
