Criminal justice clients are a significant percentage of clients who take part in drug and alcohol rehab centers in Canton, MN. and across the nation. Judges in the U.S. are finding it more helpful to treat people who have ended up in the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, rather than penalizing them in vain with time in jail and other such rulings. It has proven more successful to handle the problem of addiction directly, rather than enforce these sorts of penalties. Most who do not end up in drug and alcohol rehab will often wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, while criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol treatment frequently don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at staying abstinent and away from the court system completely.
