Criminal justice clients are a considerable portion of clients who are currently taking part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Bowman, South Carolina and in the USA. Judicial systems around the country often find it more effective to rehabilitate people who have wound up in the court system for drug related crimes, instead of penalizing them to no avail with jail time and other penalties. It has proven more effective to handle the problem of drug or alcohol addiction more straightforwardly, than to enforce such penalties. Most who do not end up in alcohol and drug rehabilitation will typically turn right back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug treatment often don't fall back into drug use and have a much better chance at remaining sober and away from the court system for good.
