DUI/DWI clients that are involved in alcohol and drug treatment centers are generally there on their own accord, but generally in drug and alcohol rehabilitation due to a mandated court order. DUI/DWI clients, especially first-time offenders could possibly be required to go to treatment either in lieu of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from rehab as an alternative to being punished because of their crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been proven that people who are treated for drug abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being forced upon them have much better odds of remaining out of the courts than those who find themselves fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In drug rehabilitation facilities DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse alcohol and drugs, so that they can address these issues and find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances inside their lives which trigger their drug abuse. This will certainly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be impacted by their substance abuse when they drive while drunk or high in the future. It is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
