DUI/DWI clients who're taking part in drug and alcohol treatment programs are either there on their own accord, but generally in alcohol and drug treatment as part of a mandated court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, especially initial offenders could be required to go to rehab either in lieu of other consequences or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from rehabilitation as an alternative to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the court system. It has been proven that individuals who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues as opposed to other penalties being enforced upon them have far better chances of staying out from the courts than those who find themselves fined, ordered to incarceration, etc. In drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse alcohol and drugs, in order to address these problems in order to find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances inside their lives which prompt their drug abuse. This may truly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be affected by their drug abuse when they drive while under the influence down the road. This is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
