DUI/DWI clients who're involved in alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs are generally there on their own accord, but most of the time in alcohol and drug treatment as part of a mandatory court order. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders could possibly be required to go to rehab either instead of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from rehab as opposed to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been established that people who are treated for substance abuse issues instead of other penalties being enforced upon them have far better chances of staying out from the courts than those who are fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In drug treatment facilities DUI/DWI clients can establish 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 prompt their drug abuse. This will certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people that may be affected by their drug abuse if they drive while drunk or high in the foreseeable future. It's a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
