DUI/DWI clients that are involved in alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs are either there on their own accord, but most of the time in drug and alcohol rehab due to a mandated order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, specifically first-time offenders might be required to go to rehab either instead of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from rehabilitation as an alternative to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the court system. It has been proven that people who are treated for substance abuse issues as opposed to other penalties being enforced upon them have greater odds of staying out from the courts than those people who are fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In alcohol and drug treatment facilities DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to be able to address these problems and find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances inside their lives which set off their substance abuse. This could certainly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who may be affected by their substance abuse whenever they drive while drunk or high in the foreseeable future. It is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
