DUI/DWI clients who are taking part in drug and alcohol treatment centers are generally there on their own accord, but more often than not in alcohol and drug treatment as part of a mandated order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders could possibly be ordered to rehab either instead of other consequences or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from rehabilitation rather than being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the court system. It has been determined that people who are treated for drug abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being forced upon them have greater chances of remaining out of the courts than those who find themselves fined, ordered to incarceration, etc. In drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to be able to address these issues and find resolution to the actual conditions and circumstances in their lives which trigger their drug abuse. 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 if they drive while intoxicated later on. This is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
