DUI/DWI clients who are involved in alcohol and drug rehab facilities are either there by their own choice, but usually in drug and alcohol rehab as part of a mandatory court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, specifically first-time offenders may be ordered to rehabilitation either in place of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from treatment as opposed to being punished for their crimes, and so can the court system. It has been proven that individuals who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues rather than other penalties being forced upon them have much better chances of staying out of the court system than people who find themselves fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In drug and alcohol rehab programs DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to enable them to address these issues and find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances within their lives which set off their substance abuse. This can truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be affected by their substance abuse when they drive while under the influence in the future. This is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
