DUI/DWI clients who are taking part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers are generally there on their own accord, but usually in alcohol and drug rehab due to a mandated court order. DUI/DWI clients, especially initial offenders may be ordered to rehab either in place of other consequences or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from rehab as an alternative to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the court system. It has been proven that those who are treated for drug abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being enforced upon them have far better chances of staying out from the court system than people who find themselves fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to enable them to address these problems in order to find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances within their lives which prompt their drug or alcohol use. This will certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people that may be impacted by their drug abuse whenever they drive while drunk or high in the foreseeable future. It is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
