DUI/DWI clients that are involved in alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs are generally there by their own choice, but more often than not in drug and alcohol treatment due to a mandatory order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, especially initial offenders could be ordered to rehab either instead of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from rehab as an alternative to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been established that those who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues as opposed to other penalties being enforced upon them have far better odds of staying out from the court system than those who find themselves fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In drug and alcohol rehab facilities DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse alcohol and drugs, in order to address these issues in order to find resolution to the actual conditions and circumstances inside their lives which trigger their substance abuse. This may certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who may be impacted by their drug or alcohol use whenever they drive while under the influence down the road. It's a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
