DUI/DWI clients who're involved in alcohol and drug treatment facilities are generally there on their own accord, but generally in alcohol and drug rehab as part of a mandatory court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, especially initial offenders could be required to go to rehabilitation either in lieu of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from rehab as an alternative to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been determined that people who are treated for substance abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being forced upon them have much better chances of remaining out from the courts than those who find themselves fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In drug rehabilitation programs DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to be able to address these issues and find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances within their lives which trigger their substance abuse. This will certainly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who may be affected by their drug or alcohol use when they drive while under the influence down the road. It's a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
