DUI/DWI clients who're involved in drug and alcohol rehab facilities are generally there on their own accord, but more often than not in drug and alcohol treatment as part of a mandatory court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, specifically initial offenders may be ordered to treatment either in place of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from treatment as opposed to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been established that individuals who are treated for substance abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being enforced upon them have far better odds of staying out of the courts than people who find themselves fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In drug rehabilitation facilities DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse drugs and alcohol, in order to address these problems in order to find resolution for the actual conditions and circumstances inside their lives which prompt their substance abuse. This will truly save lives, not only 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.
