DUI/DWI clients that are taking part in drug and alcohol rehab facilities are either there on their own accord, but usually in drug rehabilitation as part of a mandatory court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, specifically first-time offenders could be required to go to treatment either in place of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from treatment as an alternative to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the court system. It has been verified that individuals who are treated for substance abuse issues rather than other penalties being forced upon them have far better odds of staying out from the courts than those who find themselves fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In drug and alcohol treatment centers DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to be able to address these problems in order to find resolution to the actual conditions and circumstances in their lives which set off their drug abuse. This will certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who may be affected by their drug or alcohol use whenever they drive while intoxicated in the future. It is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
