DUI/DWI clients that are taking part in alcohol and drug treatment programs are either there by their own choice, but most of the time in drug and alcohol rehabilitation as part of a mandated order from the court. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders could possibly be ordered to rehab either in lieu of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients may 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 those who are treated for substance abuse issues as opposed to other penalties being forced upon them have far better chances of remaining out from the court system than those who find themselves fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to enable them to address these problems in order to find resolution to the actual situations and circumstances in their lives which set off their drug abuse. This will truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those who may be impacted by their drug or alcohol use when they drive while drunk or high down the road. It's a real second opportunity for DUI/DWI clients.
