DUI/DWI clients who are taking part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers are generally there by their own choice, but most of the time in drug and alcohol rehabilitation as part of a mandatory order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders could possibly be ordered to treatment either instead of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from treatment instead of being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been proven that people who are treated for substance abuse issues rather than other penalties being forced upon them have far better chances of remaining out of the court system than those people who are fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In drug rehabilitation centers DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse drugs and alcohol, in order to address these issues and find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances inside their lives which trigger their drug abuse. This will certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be affected by their substance abuse should they drive while drunk or high in the future. This is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
