DUI/DWI clients that are taking part in drug and alcohol rehab facilities are either there by their own choice, but more often than not in alcohol and drug rehab as part of a mandatory order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, especially initial offenders could be ordered to rehab either instead of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from rehabilitation as an alternative to being punished because of their crimes, and so can the court system. It has been proven that people who are treated for drug abuse issues instead of other penalties being enforced upon them have much better chances of staying out of the courts than those who are fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse drugs and alcohol, in order to address these issues in order to find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances in their lives which set off their substance abuse. This can truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people that may be affected by their substance abuse when they drive while intoxicated down the road. It is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
