DUI/DWI clients who are taking part in drug treatment facilities are generally there by their own choice, but most of the time in alcohol and drug rehabilitation as part of a mandatory court order. DUI/DWI clients, especially first-time offenders could be required to go to rehab either in lieu of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from treatment as an alternative to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the court system. It has been established that individuals who are treated for drug abuse issues rather than other penalties being enforced upon them have much better chances of remaining out from the courts than those people who are fined, ordered to incarceration, etc. In alcohol and drug treatment programs DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to enable them to address these problems and find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances within their lives which set off their drug abuse. This will truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be impacted by their drug or alcohol use if they drive while intoxicated down the road. It is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
