DUI/DWI clients who are involved in alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities are generally there on their own accord, but more often than not in alcohol and drug treatment due to a mandatory court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, specifically initial offenders might be required to go to rehabilitation either instead of other consequences or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from rehabilitation instead of being punished because of their crimes, and so can the court system. It has been determined that people who are treated for drug abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being forced upon them have much better chances of staying out from the court system than those people who are fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to be able to address these issues and find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances within their lives which prompt their drug abuse. This could truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be impacted by their drug or alcohol use if they drive while under the influence in the foreseeable future. It's a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
