Criminal justice clients are a significant percentage of clientele who take part in alcohol and drug treatment facilities in Bellevue, Washington and in the USA. Judges in the U.S. are finding it more helpful to treat men and women who have found their way into the court system for drug related crimes, rather than punishing them to no avail with jail time and other such rulings. It has proven more successful to tackle the trouble of drug or alcohol addiction directly, than to enforce such penalties. Most who do not end up in alcohol and drug rehabilitation will frequently turn right back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation generally don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at staying sober and out of the court system entirely.
