DUI/DWI clients who're involved in drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs are either there on their own accord, but usually in drug and alcohol rehabilitation as part of a mandated order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders may be required to go to rehabilitation either instead of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from rehab as an alternative to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been verified that people who are treated for drug abuse issues instead of other penalties being forced upon them have much better chances of staying out of the courts than people who find themselves fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In drug treatment facilities DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to enable them to address these issues and find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances within their lives which trigger their drug or alcohol use. This may certainly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be affected by their substance abuse if they drive while drunk or high down the road. It's a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
