Criminal justice clients are a significant portion of clients who are currently taking part in drug rehabilitation programs in Atlantic, PA. and in the USA. Court systems in the U.S. are finding it more advantageous to rehab men and women who have wound up in the court system for crimes relating to drugs, instead of penalizing them to no avail with jail time and other such rulings. It has proven more effective to deal with the issue of drug addiction more straightforwardly, than to enforce such penalties. Most who do not end up in drug and alcohol rehabilitation will often wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation generally don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at remaining sober and away from the court system for good.
