Criminal justice clients are a considerable portion of clients who take part in drug rehabilitation programs in Bodega Bay and across the nation. Court systems around the country often find it more effective to rehabilitate men and women who have found their way into the court system for drug related crimes, rather than penalizing them to no avail with time in jail and other penalties. It is proven to be more successful to handle the issue of drug or alcohol addiction directly, rather than enforce such penalties. The majority of who do not make their way to drug and alcohol treatment will often turn right back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation often don't fall back into drug use and have a much better chance at remaining sober and out of the court system for good.
