Treating persons who are addicted and dependent to drugs and have landed somewhere in the criminal justice system has proven a productive method of eliminating repeat drug related crimes for individuals that do receive treatment. For criminal justice clients in Brooklyn who do agree to take part in treatment in drug and alcohol treatment centers, even against one's will as is sometimes ordered by the judge, these persons have a far better opportunity of dealing with the root of the problem so that they can remain off of drugs and away from being implicated in drug related criminal acts. The costs to society having to do with these drug related criminal offenses is also impacted positively when criminal justice clients become helped in drug and alcohol rehab programs in Brooklyn in lieu of jail time or other harsh punishment.
