DUI/DWI clients that are involved in drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs are either there by their own choice, but usually in drug rehabilitation as part of a mandatory order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, especially initial offenders could possibly be ordered to treatment either instead of other consequences or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from rehab as opposed to being punished because of their crimes, and so can the court system. It has been established that individuals who are treated for substance abuse issues as opposed to other penalties being enforced upon them have greater odds of staying out of the court system than people who find themselves fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to be able to address these problems in order to find resolution to the actual conditions and circumstances in their lives which set off their substance abuse. This may certainly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be impacted by their drug abuse should they drive while drunk or high later on. It's a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
