DUI/DWI clients that are involved in drug and alcohol treatment centers are either there by their own choice, but more often than not in alcohol and drug rehab as part of a mandated court order. DUI/DWI clients, particularly initial offenders could possibly be ordered to rehabilitation either in lieu of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from treatment 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 or alcohol use issues rather than other penalties being enforced upon them have much better odds of staying out of the court system than people who find themselves fined, ordered to incarceration, etc. In drug treatment programs DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse drugs and alcohol, so that they can address these problems in order to find resolution for the actual conditions and circumstances within their lives which set off their drug abuse. This may certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be impacted by their substance abuse when they drive while under the influence later on. This is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
