DUI/DWI clients who are taking part in alcohol and drug treatment facilities are either there by their own choice, but generally in drug and alcohol rehabilitation due to a mandatory court order. DUI/DWI clients, particularly initial offenders might be ordered to rehabilitation either instead of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from treatment as opposed to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the court system. It has been proven that people who are treated for substance abuse issues as opposed to other penalties being forced upon them have much better chances of staying out from the courts than those who find themselves fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In drug treatment programs DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to enable them to address these problems in order to find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances in their lives which set off their substance abuse. This may certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be affected by their drug or alcohol use if they drive while intoxicated later on. It's a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
