DUI/DWI clients who're involved in alcohol and drug treatment programs are generally there by their own choice, but usually in drug rehab due to a mandatory court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, especially initial offenders could possibly be ordered to treatment either instead of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from treatment as an alternative to being punished for their crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been proven that individuals who are treated for substance abuse issues instead of other penalties being forced upon them have far better chances of remaining out from the courts than those who find themselves fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In drug and alcohol rehab programs DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to be able to address these problems and find resolution to the actual conditions and circumstances within their lives which set off their drug or alcohol use. This may truly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be impacted by their drug abuse whenever they drive while drunk or high later on. This is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
