DUI/DWI clients that are involved in drug rehab programs are either there on their own accord, but usually in alcohol and drug treatment as part of a mandatory court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, especially first-time offenders could possibly be required to go to treatment either instead of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from rehabilitation as an alternative to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the court system. It has been determined that individuals who are treated for drug abuse issues rather than other penalties being forced upon them have far better chances of remaining out of the court system than those who are fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to be able to address these issues in order to find resolution to the actual conditions and circumstances within their lives which prompt their substance abuse. This can truly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who may be affected by their drug or alcohol use should they drive while drunk or high later on. It is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
