DUI/DWI clients that are involved in alcohol and drug treatment programs are either there by their own choice, but most of the time in drug and alcohol rehab as part of a mandatory court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders could be required to go to treatment either in place of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from treatment instead of being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the court system. It has been established that individuals who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues rather than other penalties being enforced upon them have far better odds of staying out from the court system than those who are fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In drug rehabilitation centers DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to be able to address these problems in order to find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances inside their lives which trigger their drug or alcohol use. This may certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people that may be affected by their substance abuse should they drive while intoxicated in the future. It is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
