Criminal justice clients are a considerable percentage of clients who take part in drug treatment programs in Aurora and across the nation. Judicial systems around the country often find it more helpful to rehab people who have ended up in the criminal justice system for crimes relating to drugs, instead of penalizing them in vain with jail time and other such rulings. It has proven more successful to address the problem of addiction directly, rather than enforce these sorts of penalties. The majority of who do not end up in alcohol and drug rehabilitation will typically wind back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation frequently don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at staying sober and away from the court system entirely.
