DUI/DWI clients who are involved in alcohol and drug treatment facilities are either there on their own accord, but generally in drug rehabilitation due to a mandatory court order. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders could possibly be ordered to treatment either in place of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from treatment instead of being punished because of their crimes, and so can the court system. It has been determined that individuals who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues rather than other penalties being forced upon them have much better chances of remaining out of the court system than those who find themselves fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse drugs and alcohol, in order to address these problems and find resolution for the actual conditions and circumstances within their lives which set off their substance abuse. This can truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be affected by their substance abuse when they drive while drunk or high in the future. It's a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
