Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clientele who take part in alcohol and drug treatment programs in Camden, Illinois and across the nation. Judges around the country often find it more effective to rehab people who have found their way into the court system for drug related crimes, rather than punishing them in vain with jail time and other penalties. It has proven more successful to tackle the problem of drug or alcohol addiction directly, than to enforce these sorts of penalties. Most who do not make their way to drug treatment will often wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, while criminal justice clients in drug rehab frequently don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at staying sober and out of the court system completely.
