DUI/DWI clients who're taking part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities are either there on their own accord, but usually in alcohol and drug rehabilitation due to a mandated court order. DUI/DWI clients, specifically first-time offenders may be required to go to treatment either in place of other penalties or as part of their sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from treatment rather than being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the court system. It has been proven that those who are treated for substance abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being enforced upon them have far better odds of staying out from the court system than those people who are fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In alcohol and drug rehab facilities DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to enable them to address these problems in order to find resolution for the actual situations and circumstances inside their lives which prompt their substance abuse. This will truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who may be affected by their drug or alcohol use whenever they drive while under the influence later on. It's a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
