DUI/DWI clients that are involved in alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs are either there on their own accord, but generally in drug and alcohol rehab as part of a mandated order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders could possibly be ordered to rehab either instead of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from rehabilitation as opposed to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been proven that individuals who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues instead of other penalties being enforced upon them have far better chances of remaining out from the courts than people who find themselves fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In alcohol and drug rehab programs DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to be able to address these problems and find resolution to the actual conditions and circumstances in their lives which trigger their drug abuse. This can certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be affected by their drug or alcohol use whenever they drive while drunk or high down the road. It's a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
