DUI/DWI clients who are taking part in drug and alcohol treatment centers are either there by their own choice, but more often than not in alcohol and drug rehabilitation due to a mandated court order. DUI/DWI clients, especially first-time offenders could be required to go to rehab either instead of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from treatment instead of being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been established that those who are treated for drug abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being enforced upon them have much better odds of staying out of the courts than people who find themselves fined, ordered to incarceration, etc. In drug rehab facilities DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to enable them to address these issues in order to find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances within their lives which prompt their drug or alcohol use. This could certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be affected by their substance abuse if they drive while drunk or high in the foreseeable future. This is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
