DUI/DWI clients who are taking part in drug and alcohol rehab centers are either there on their own accord, but most of the time in drug and alcohol treatment due to a mandatory court order. DUI/DWI clients, specifically initial offenders might be ordered to treatment either instead of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from rehab as an alternative to being punished for their crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been proven that people who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues as an alternative to other penalties being forced upon them have much better odds of remaining out of the courts than people who find themselves fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In drug and alcohol rehab facilities DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse drugs and alcohol, in order to address these issues and find resolution for the actual conditions and circumstances in their lives which trigger their drug abuse. This will certainly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people that may be affected by their drug or alcohol use whenever they drive while intoxicated later on. It's a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
