Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clientele who are currently taking part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Brookhaven and in the USA. Judges around the country are finding it more helpful to rehab people who have ended up in the court system for drug related crimes, instead of penalizing them to no avail with jail time and other such rulings. It has proven more helpful to tackle the issue of addiction directly, than to invoke such penalties. Most who do not wind up in drug and alcohol treatment will often turn right back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in drug treatment often don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at remaining abstinent and away from the court system for good.
