DUI/DWI clients who are involved in drug and alcohol rehab facilities are either there on their own accord, but usually in drug and alcohol rehabilitation as part of a mandatory court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, especially first-time offenders might be required to go to rehabilitation either in place of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from rehab rather than being punished for their crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been determined that people who are treated for substance abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being enforced upon them have far better chances of staying out from the court system than those people who are fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In alcohol and drug treatment facilities DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to enable them to address these problems in order to find resolution for the actual conditions and circumstances in their lives which trigger their drug abuse. This can certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people that may be impacted by their drug or alcohol use whenever they drive while drunk or high in the foreseeable future. This is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
