DUI/DWI clients who're taking part in alcohol and drug rehab facilities are generally there by their own choice, but most of the time in alcohol and drug rehabilitation due to a mandatory order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, especially initial offenders may be ordered to treatment either in lieu of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from rehabilitation instead of being punished for their crimes, and so can the court system. It has been determined that people who are treated for substance abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being enforced upon them have far better chances of remaining out from the court system than those who find themselves fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In drug treatment facilities DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse alcohol and drugs, so that they can address these issues in order to find resolution to the actual conditions and circumstances within their lives which prompt their substance abuse. This can truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people that may be affected by their drug or alcohol use when they drive while intoxicated down the road. This is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
