DUI/DWI clients who are taking part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers are generally there by their own choice, but usually in drug treatment as part of a mandated order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders could be ordered to treatment either in place of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from treatment as an alternative to being punished for their crimes, and so can the court system. It has been determined that people who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues rather than other penalties being forced upon them have much better odds of remaining out of the courts than those who find themselves fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to enable them to address these issues in order to find resolution for the actual conditions and circumstances in their lives which set off their drug abuse. This could truly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people that may be affected by their drug or alcohol use if they drive while intoxicated in the foreseeable future. This is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
