DUI/DWI clients who're involved in drug and alcohol treatment centers are either there on their own accord, but more often than not in drug treatment due to a mandatory order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders might be required to go to rehab either in place of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from rehab rather than being punished for their crimes, and so can the court system. It has been determined that people who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues as an alternative to other penalties being forced upon them have much better chances of staying out of the courts than those who find themselves fined, ordered to incarceration, etc. In drug rehabilitation facilities DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to enable them to address these problems in order to find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances inside their lives which prompt their drug or alcohol use. This may truly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be impacted by their substance abuse whenever they drive while drunk or high later on. It's a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
