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