DUI/DWI clients that are taking part in drug rehabilitation facilities are either there by their own choice, but generally in drug and alcohol rehab due to a mandatory court order. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders could possibly be ordered to rehabilitation either instead of other consequences or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from treatment as an alternative to being punished for their crimes, and so can the court system. It has been verified that individuals who are treated for substance abuse issues rather than 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 prison time, etc. In drug and alcohol rehab facilities DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to enable them to address these issues in order to find resolution to the actual conditions and circumstances in their lives which prompt their drug or alcohol use. This will truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who may be affected by their drug or alcohol use should they drive while intoxicated down the road. This is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
