DUI/DWI clients who are involved in drug treatment programs are generally there on their own accord, but generally in alcohol and drug rehabilitation as part of a mandated order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, especially initial offenders could possibly be ordered to rehab either in place of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from treatment as an alternative to being punished because of their crimes, and so can the court system. It has been determined that people who are treated for substance abuse issues as opposed to other penalties being forced upon them have greater chances of staying out from the court system than people who find themselves fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In drug and alcohol treatment facilities DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to be able to address these issues and find resolution to the actual conditions and circumstances within their lives which trigger their drug or alcohol use. This will truly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be affected by their substance abuse should they drive while drunk or high in the future. This is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
