DUI/DWI clients who are involved in alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs are either there by their own choice, but generally in alcohol and drug rehab as part of a mandated court order. DUI/DWI clients, specifically first-time offenders could be required to go to rehabilitation either instead of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from rehabilitation rather than being punished because of their crimes, and so can the court system. It has been verified that people who are treated for drug abuse issues as opposed to other penalties being enforced upon them have far better chances of remaining out of the court system than those who are fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In drug rehab centers DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to enable them to address these problems and find resolution to the actual conditions and circumstances within their lives which set off their drug abuse. This could truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people that may be affected by their substance abuse if they drive while intoxicated in the future. It's a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
