DUI/DWI clients who are taking part in drug and alcohol treatment facilities are generally there by their own choice, but most of the time in drug and alcohol rehab due to a mandatory order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, especially first-time offenders could be ordered to rehab either in lieu of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from rehabilitation rather than being punished because of their crimes, and so can the court system. It has been determined that those who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues instead of other penalties being forced upon them have far better odds of staying out from the court system than people who find themselves fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to enable them to address these issues in order to find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances within their lives which trigger their drug or alcohol use. This can truly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be impacted by their substance abuse if they drive while intoxicated in the foreseeable future. It's a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
