DUI/DWI clients who're taking part in drug treatment facilities are either there by their own choice, but more often than not in drug and alcohol rehab as part of a mandatory court order. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders may be required to go to treatment either instead of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from treatment rather than being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been verified that people who are treated for drug abuse issues instead of other penalties being enforced upon them have far better chances of staying out from the courts than those who find themselves fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In alcohol and drug treatment facilities DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse drugs and alcohol, so that they can address these problems in order to find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances inside their lives which set off their drug abuse. This will truly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be affected by their drug or alcohol use whenever they drive while intoxicated later on. This is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
