DUI/DWI clients who're taking part in alcohol and drug treatment facilities are either there on their own accord, but most of the time in drug rehabilitation as part of a mandatory order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders could possibly be ordered to treatment 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 court system. It has been determined that individuals who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues as an alternative to other penalties being forced upon them have much better odds of remaining out from the courts than those who find themselves fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In alcohol and drug treatment facilities DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to enable them to address these issues and find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances within their lives which set off their drug abuse. This can certainly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be affected by their substance abuse when they drive while drunk or high in the foreseeable future. This is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
