Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clientele who are currently taking part in drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Argonia and across the nation. Judges in the U.S. often find it more beneficial to rehabilitate people who have wound up in the court system for crimes relating to drugs, instead of punishing them in vain with jail time and other penalties. It has proven more helpful to address the problem of drug addiction directly, than to enforce such penalties. Most who do not wind up in alcohol and drug rehabilitation will frequently wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in drug rehab frequently don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at staying abstinent and out of the court system completely.
