DUI/DWI clients who are involved in drug treatment programs are generally there on their own accord, but most of the time in alcohol and drug rehabilitation due to a mandated court order. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders could possibly be required to go to rehab either in lieu of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from rehabilitation rather than being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been established that individuals who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues rather than other penalties being enforced upon them have much better odds of remaining out from the courts than people who find themselves fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In drug and alcohol rehab centers DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to enable them to address these issues in order to find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances in their lives which prompt 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 intoxicated down the road. It's a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
