Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clientele who are currently taking part in alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Big Lake, Texas and across the nation. Court systems around the country are finding it more helpful to rehabilitate people who have found their way into the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, rather than punishing them to no avail with jail time and other penalties. It has proven more helpful to handle the problem of addiction directly, rather than enforce such penalties. Most who do not wind up in drug rehabilitation will typically wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation frequently don't fall back into drug use and have a much better chance at staying abstinent and away from the court system for good.
