DUI/DWI clients who're taking part in drug treatment centers are generally there by their own choice, but most of the time in drug rehabilitation as part of a mandated court order. DUI/DWI clients, especially first-time offenders could possibly be ordered to rehabilitation either instead of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from rehabilitation instead of being punished because of their crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been established that individuals who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues instead of other penalties being forced upon them have much better odds of staying out of the courts than those who are fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In alcohol and drug treatment programs DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse drugs and alcohol, so that they can address these problems in order to find resolution for the actual conditions and circumstances in their lives which prompt their drug abuse. This can truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be impacted by their drug abuse whenever they drive while drunk or high in the foreseeable future. It is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
