Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clients who take part in alcohol and drug rehab programs in Advance, NC. and in the USA. Judicial systems in the country are finding it more beneficial to rehabilitate individuals who have ended up in the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, rather than punishing them in vain with time in jail and other penalties. It has proven more effective to deal with the issue of addiction directly, rather than enforce such penalties. Most individuals who do not end up in drug rehabilitation will typically turn right back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in drug rehab generally don't make the same mistakes and have a better chance at staying sober and away from the court system entirely.
