DUI/DWI clients that are involved in drug treatment programs are generally there by their own choice, but more often than not in drug rehab due to a mandatory court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, especially initial offenders could possibly be ordered to rehab either in lieu of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from rehabilitation as an alternative to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been established that people who are treated for substance abuse issues rather than other penalties being forced upon them have much better chances of staying out of the court system than people who find themselves fined, ordered to incarceration, etc. In drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to enable them to address these problems in order to find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances in their lives which trigger their drug abuse. This could truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who 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.
