Criminal justice clients are a significant percentage of clientele who are currently taking part in drug rehabilitation programs in Butterfield, Minnesota and in the USA. Court systems in the U.S. are finding it more beneficial to rehabilitate men and women who have found their way into the court system for drug related crimes, rather than penalizing them to no avail with time in jail and other penalties. It has proven more effective to address the problem of addiction directly, than to enforce these sorts of penalties. Most individuals who do not end up in alcohol and drug treatment will frequently wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug treatment generally don't fall back into drug use and have a much better chance at staying sober and away from the court system for good.
