DUI/DWI clients that are taking part in drug rehab centers are either there on their own accord, but generally in drug and alcohol rehab as part of a mandatory court ruling. DUI/DWI clients, specifically first-time offenders could possibly be required to go to treatment either in lieu of other penalties or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from treatment rather than being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the judicial system. It has been determined that individuals who are treated for drug abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being enforced upon them have much better odds of staying out from the courts than those who find themselves fined, ordered to incarceration, etc. In drug and alcohol rehab centers DUI/DWI clients can determine why they abuse alcohol and drugs, to enable them to address these problems and find resolution to the actual conditions and circumstances inside their lives which prompt their substance abuse. This may truly save lives, not just the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but people who may be affected by their drug or alcohol use should they drive while drunk or high down the road. It's a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
