DUI/DWI clients that are taking part in drug rehab programs are either there by their own choice, but generally in drug rehab due to a mandatory court order. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders could possibly be ordered to treatment either in lieu of other consequences or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from treatment instead of being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been determined that people who are treated for substance 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 prison time, etc. In alcohol and drug rehab centers DUI/DWI clients can establish why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to be able to address these problems in order to find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances in their lives which trigger their substance abuse. This could certainly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who may be affected by their drug abuse when they drive while drunk or high in the future. This is a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
