DUI/DWI clients who're taking part in drug rehab programs are generally there on their own accord, but usually in alcohol and drug treatment as part of a mandated court order. DUI/DWI clients, especially first-time offenders could possibly be ordered to treatment either instead of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from rehab rather than being punished because of their crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been established that people who are treated for drug abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being forced upon them have greater odds of staying out of the courts than those people who are fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In alcohol and drug treatment centers DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse alcohol and drugs, in order to address these issues and find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances within their lives which set off their drug abuse. This will truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be impacted by their substance abuse whenever they drive while under the influence down the road. This is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
