DUI/DWI clients that are taking part in drug rehabilitation programs are generally there on their own accord, but more often than not in alcohol and drug rehab due to a mandatory court order. DUI/DWI clients, especially first-time offenders could possibly be ordered to treatment either instead of other consequences or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from treatment rather than being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the court system. It has been proven that individuals who are treated for drug abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being forced upon them have far better chances of staying out from the court system than those who find themselves fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In alcohol and drug treatment centers DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse drugs and alcohol, in order to address these issues and find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances in their lives which trigger their substance abuse. This could certainly 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 intoxicated down the road. It is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
