DUI/DWI clients who are taking part in drug rehabilitation programs are either there on their own accord, but more often than not in alcohol and drug rehabilitation due to a mandatory court order. DUI/DWI clients, specifically initial offenders could possibly be ordered to treatment either in lieu of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from rehabilitation as opposed to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the court system. It has been proven that people who are treated for substance abuse issues instead of other penalties being forced upon them have much better odds of remaining out of the courts than people who find themselves fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In drug and alcohol treatment programs DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to be able to address these issues and find resolution to the actual conditions and circumstances in their lives which set off their drug abuse. This will truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be impacted 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.
