DUI/DWI clients who're taking part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers are generally there by their own choice, but generally in alcohol and drug rehab as part of a mandatory court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, especially first-time offenders may be ordered to treatment either in lieu of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from treatment as an alternative to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the court system. It has been established that people who are treated for substance abuse issues as opposed to other penalties being forced upon them have much better odds of staying out from the courts than those who find themselves fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to be able to address these issues in order to find resolution to the actual conditions and circumstances in their lives which trigger their drug abuse. This can truly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be impacted by their drug or alcohol use whenever they drive while intoxicated in the future. It's a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
