DUI/DWI clients who are involved in drug rehabilitation facilities are generally there on their own accord, but more often than not in drug and alcohol rehabilitation as part of a mandatory court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders could be ordered to treatment either in place of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from treatment instead of being punished for their crimes, and so can the court system. It has been determined that people who are treated for drug abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being enforced upon them have far better odds of staying out from the court system than those people who are fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In drug and alcohol treatment centers DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse alcohol and drugs, so that they can address these problems and find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances inside their lives which prompt their drug or alcohol use. This may truly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people that may be affected by their drug abuse when they drive while drunk or high in the future. It is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
