DUI/DWI clients who're involved in drug and alcohol treatment centers are generally there by their own choice, but usually in drug rehabilitation as part of a mandatory order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, especially first-time offenders might be ordered to rehabilitation either instead of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from rehab as an alternative to being punished because of their crimes, and so can the court system. It has been determined that people who are treated for drug abuse issues instead of other penalties being enforced upon them have much better odds of remaining out from the courts than those who find themselves fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to be able to address these issues and find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances within their lives which trigger their substance abuse. This can truly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who may be impacted by their substance abuse should they drive while under the influence down the road. It is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
