DUI/DWI clients that are taking part in alcohol and drug rehab facilities are generally there by their own choice, but usually in alcohol and drug rehabilitation as part of a mandatory order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, especially first-time offenders could possibly be ordered to rehabilitation either instead of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from treatment rather than being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been determined that individuals who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues as an alternative to other penalties being enforced upon them have far better odds of remaining out of the courts than people who find themselves fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In drug and alcohol rehab centers DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse drugs and alcohol, in order to address these problems in order to find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances within their lives which trigger their substance abuse. This may truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people that may be impacted by their drug or alcohol use if they drive while intoxicated in the foreseeable future. It's a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
