Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clients who are currently taking part in drug treatment facilities in Caldwell, Idaho and across the nation. Court systems around the country are finding it more advantageous to rehab individuals who have ended up in the court system for crimes relating to drugs, instead of punishing them in vain with time in jail and other penalties. It has proven more successful to address the issue of addiction directly, rather than enforce such penalties. Most individuals who do not make their way to alcohol and drug rehabilitation will often turn right back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehabilitation often don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at remaining sober and out of the court system entirely.
