DUI/DWI clients who're taking part in drug and alcohol rehab centers are generally there by their own choice, but most of the time in drug rehab due to a mandated court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, specifically initial offenders could possibly be required to go to treatment either in place of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from rehab as an alternative to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been determined that those who are treated for substance abuse issues rather than other penalties being forced upon them have far better chances of staying out of the court system than people who find themselves fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In drug treatment programs DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to be able to address these problems and find resolution to the actual conditions and circumstances in their lives which prompt their drug abuse. This can certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be impacted by their drug abuse when they drive while drunk or high in the future. It's a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
