Criminal justice clients are a significant portion of clientele who are currently taking part in alcohol and drug treatment facilities in Cherokee, NC. and in the USA. Judicial systems in the country are finding it more helpful to rehab men and women who have ended up in the court system for drug related crimes, rather than punishing them to no avail with jail time and other such rulings. It has proven more effective to deal with the trouble of drug addiction directly, than to enforce such penalties. Most who do not end up in drug rehab will typically wind back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in drug rehab generally don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at staying sober and out of the court system completely.
