DUI/DWI clients who are taking part in alcohol and drug treatment programs are generally there by their own choice, but usually in alcohol and drug rehabilitation due to a mandatory court order. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders could be ordered to rehab either instead of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from rehab as an alternative to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the court system. It has been determined that people who are treated for substance abuse issues instead of other penalties being forced upon them have far better odds of staying out of the court system than people who find themselves fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse drugs and alcohol, so that they can address these problems in order to find resolution for the actual conditions and circumstances inside their lives which prompt their drug or alcohol use. This may certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be impacted by their drug or alcohol use when they drive while under the influence in the foreseeable future. It's a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
