Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clientele who are currently taking part in drug and alcohol rehab programs in Bryson City, NC. and across the nation. Judges in the country are finding it more effective to rehabilitate people who have found their way into the court system for drug related crimes, rather than punishing them in vain with time in jail and other penalties. It has proven more helpful to handle the issue of drug addiction directly, rather than enforce such penalties. The majority of who do not wind up in alcohol and drug treatment will often wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug treatment frequently don't make the same mistakes and have a far better chance at staying abstinent and away from the court system completely.
