DUI/DWI clients who're involved in alcohol and drug rehab facilities are generally there on their own accord, but more often than not in drug and alcohol treatment as part of a mandated order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, specifically first-time offenders might be required to go to treatment either instead of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from rehabilitation as an alternative to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the court system. It has been verified that those who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues rather than other penalties being enforced upon them have greater chances of remaining out from the court system than those people who are fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to be able to address these issues in order to find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances within their lives which trigger their substance abuse. This will certainly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be affected by their substance abuse when they drive while under the influence in the future. It's a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
