DUI/DWI clients who are involved in alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs are either there on their own accord, but most of the time in alcohol and drug treatment due to a mandated court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders could be ordered to rehab either in place of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from rehabilitation as an alternative to being punished for their crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been verified that individuals who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues as an alternative to other penalties being forced upon them have much better chances of remaining out of the court system than people who find themselves fined, ordered to incarceration, etc. In alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse drugs and alcohol, so that they can address these issues in order to find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances in their lives which prompt their substance abuse. This can certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be impacted by their substance abuse whenever they drive while intoxicated in the future. It is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
