Criminal justice clients are a significant percentage of clients who are currently taking part in drug and alcohol treatment facilities in Bearcreek, Montana and in the USA. Court systems around the country are finding it more beneficial to rehabilitate men and women who have found their way into the criminal justice system for crimes relating to drugs, instead of penalizing them in vain with jail time and other penalties. It has proven more successful to tackle the issue of drug or alcohol addiction directly, than to enforce such penalties. Most individuals 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 alcohol and drug rehabilitation frequently don't make the same mistakes and have a much better chance at staying sober and away from the court system completely.
