DUI/DWI clients who are involved in alcohol and drug rehab facilities are generally there by their own choice, but more often than not in drug rehab as part of a mandatory court order. DUI/DWI clients, specifically first-time offenders could be required to go to treatment either in lieu of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from rehabilitation as opposed to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been verified that individuals who are treated for substance abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being forced upon them have much better odds of remaining out from the courts than those who find themselves fined, ordered to incarceration, etc. In drug and alcohol treatment programs DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to enable them to address these issues and find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances in their lives which trigger their substance abuse. This will certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be impacted by their substance abuse if they drive while intoxicated in the future. This is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
