DUI/DWI clients that are taking part in drug rehabilitation programs are either there by their own choice, but usually in drug and alcohol treatment as part of a mandated court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders may be ordered to rehabilitation either in lieu of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from rehab rather than being punished for their crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been determined that individuals who are treated for substance abuse issues as opposed to other penalties being forced upon them have far better odds of remaining out of the courts than people who find themselves fined, ordered to incarceration, etc. In drug and alcohol rehab facilities DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to enable them to address these issues and find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances in their lives which trigger their substance abuse. This may certainly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be affected by their substance abuse should they drive while drunk or high in the foreseeable future. It is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
