DUI/DWI clients who're taking part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities are either there on their own accord, but more often than not in alcohol and drug rehab due to a mandatory court order. DUI/DWI clients, especially first-time offenders could possibly be ordered to rehabilitation either in place of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients will benefit greatly from treatment 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 substance abuse issues instead of other penalties being forced upon them have greater chances of remaining out from the courts than those who find themselves fined, ordered to jail time, etc. In drug and alcohol treatment programs DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse alcohol and drugs, in order to address these issues and find resolution for the actual conditions and circumstances in their lives which trigger their substance abuse. This may certainly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be impacted by their drug abuse when they drive while drunk or high later on. It is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
