DUI/DWI clients who are involved in drug and alcohol rehab programs are either there on their own accord, but generally in drug rehab due to a mandatory court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders could possibly be required to go to rehabilitation either in place of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients can benefit greatly from rehab rather than being punished because of their crimes, and so can the court system. It has been established that those who are treated for drug or alcohol use issues instead of other penalties being forced upon them have much better chances of staying out from the courts than those who find themselves fined, ordered to prison time, etc. In drug treatment programs DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse alcohol and drugs, so that they can address these issues in order to find resolution for the actual conditions and circumstances within their lives which prompt their drug abuse. This will certainly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be impacted by their drug or alcohol use whenever they drive while under the influence later on. It's a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
