DUI/DWI clients that are involved in alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs are either there on their own accord, but more often than not in drug treatment due to a mandatory order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, particularly initial offenders could possibly be required to go to rehabilitation either instead of other consequences or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from rehab as opposed to being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been established that people who are treated for substance abuse issues as opposed to other penalties being forced upon them have greater chances of staying out from the court system than those people who are fined, ordered to incarceration, etc. In drug and alcohol rehab facilities DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse alcohol and drugs, in order to address these issues in order to find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances within their lives which prompt their drug or alcohol use. This can certainly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who may be impacted by their substance abuse if they drive while drunk or high in the future. It's a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
