DUI/DWI clients who're taking part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers are either there on their own accord, but most of the time in drug and alcohol treatment as part of a mandatory court order. DUI/DWI clients, particularly initial offenders could be ordered to rehab either instead of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from treatment as opposed to being punished for their crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been determined that people who are treated for drug abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being enforced upon them have far better chances of remaining out of the court system than those who find themselves fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In drug and alcohol treatment programs DUI/DWI clients can establish 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 will certainly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be impacted by their drug or alcohol use should they drive while intoxicated in the future. This is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
