Criminal justice clients are a significant percentage of clients who take part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Bridgewater and in the USA. Court systems around the country are finding it more advantageous to treat people who have found their way into the court system for drug related crimes, rather than penalizing them to no avail with jail time and other such rulings. It is proven to be more successful to tackle the problem of addiction directly, rather than invoke these sorts of penalties. Most individuals who do not end up in drug treatment will frequently wind 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 far better chance at remaining abstinent and out of the court system for good.
