DUI/DWI clients that are taking part in alcohol and drug treatment centers are either there on their own accord, but most of the time in alcohol and drug rehab as part of a mandatory court order. DUI/DWI clients, particularly initial offenders could possibly be ordered to rehab either instead of other consequences or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from treatment as an alternative to being punished for their crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been proven that people who are treated for substance abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being forced upon them have much better chances of staying out from the court system than people who find themselves fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In drug rehabilitation centers DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to enable them to address these problems and find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances within their lives which trigger their drug or alcohol use. This can certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who may be impacted by their drug or alcohol use when they drive while intoxicated in the future. This is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
