Criminal justice clients are a considerable percentage of clients who are currently taking part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Bremen and in the USA. Judicial systems in the U.S. often find it more helpful to rehab individuals who have found their way into the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, rather than punishing them in vain with jail time and other such rulings. It is proven to be more successful to tackle the problem of drug or alcohol addiction directly, rather than invoke these sorts of penalties. The majority of individuals who do not end up in alcohol and drug rehab will frequently wind back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol treatment generally don't make the same mistakes and have a better chance at remaining sober and out of the court system for good.
