DUI/DWI clients that are involved in drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers are either there on their own accord, but most of the time in alcohol and drug treatment due to a mandated court order. DUI/DWI clients, particularly initial offenders might be ordered to rehab either in place of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from treatment as an alternative to being punished for their crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been established that people who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues rather than other penalties being forced upon them have greater odds of remaining out from the court system than people who find themselves fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In drug and alcohol rehab centers DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse alcohol and drugs, so that they can address these problems in order to find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances in their lives which trigger their substance abuse. This may certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who may be impacted by their drug or alcohol use if they drive while drunk or high in the foreseeable future. It's a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
