DUI/DWI clients that are involved in drug and alcohol treatment facilities are either there by their own choice, but usually in drug treatment due to a mandatory court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, specifically first-time offenders could possibly be ordered to rehabilitation either in lieu of other consequences or as part of their 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 verified that those who are treated for drug abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being enforced upon them have greater odds of staying out of the court system than those people who are fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In drug treatment programs DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to enable them to address these problems in order to find resolution to the actual conditions and circumstances within their lives which prompt their drug abuse. This may certainly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be affected by their substance abuse should they drive while drunk or high in the future. It is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
