DUI/DWI clients who are involved in drug and alcohol treatment facilities are either there by their own choice, but most of the time in drug rehabilitation as part of a mandatory order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, specifically first-time offenders might be ordered to treatment either instead of other consequences or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from rehab as an alternative to being punished because of their crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been established that individuals who are treated for substance abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being enforced upon them have far better chances of staying out from the court system than those who find themselves fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In drug rehabilitation facilities DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse drugs and alcohol, in order to address these problems and find resolution for the actual conditions and circumstances within their lives which prompt their substance abuse. This will certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who may be affected by their drug abuse if they drive while drunk or high later on. This is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
