Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clients who take part in alcohol and drug rehab programs in Britt, IA. and in the USA. Judicial systems in the country are finding it more effective to rehabilitate men and women who have found their way into the court system for drug related crimes, rather than punishing them to no avail with time in jail and other penalties. It has proven more effective to tackle the trouble of drug addiction directly, rather than enforce such penalties. The majority of individuals who do not end up in drug and alcohol treatment will often wind back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehabilitation frequently don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at staying abstinent and away from the court system for good.
