DUI/DWI clients who are taking part in drug and alcohol rehab programs are either there by their own choice, but generally in alcohol and drug treatment due to a mandatory order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, especially first-time offenders could possibly be ordered to treatment either in place of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from rehab as an alternative to being punished for their crimes, and so can the court system. It has been proven that individuals who are treated for drug abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being forced upon them have far better chances of staying out from the courts than those who are fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In drug treatment programs DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse drugs and alcohol, in order to address these problems and find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances within their lives which set off their drug abuse. This will truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who may be impacted by their drug abuse whenever they drive while under the influence down the road. This is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
