Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clients who take part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Alba and across the nation. Court systems in the U.S. are finding it more advantageous to rehabilitate individuals who have found their way into the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, rather than punishing them in vain with jail time and other such rulings. It has proven more effective to tackle the problem of drug addiction directly, rather than enforce these sorts of penalties. Most who do not end up in drug and alcohol rehabilitation will frequently turn right back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol treatment frequently don't make the same mistakes and have a better chance at remaining sober and away from the court system entirely.
