DUI/DWI clients who are taking part in drug and alcohol rehab facilities are either there by their own choice, but more often than not in drug and alcohol rehabilitation due to a mandated court order. DUI/DWI clients, especially initial offenders may be required to go to rehab either instead of other consequences or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from rehabilitation instead of being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been proven that individuals who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues instead of other penalties being forced upon them have far better odds of staying out of the court system than those who are fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In drug rehab programs 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 within their lives which prompt their substance abuse. This can truly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people that may be affected by their substance abuse if they drive while drunk or high in the foreseeable future. It is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
