Criminal justice clients are a significant portion of clients who take part in drug rehab facilities in Andover and in the USA. Court systems around the country often find it more helpful to rehabilitate men and women who have found their way into the court system for drug related crimes, rather than penalizing them to no avail with jail time and other such rulings. It has proven more effective to handle the issue of addiction directly, rather than invoke these sorts of penalties. Most who do not end up in drug and alcohol treatment will often turn right back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, while criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehab frequently don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at staying abstinent and away from the court system completely.
