Criminal justice clients are a considerable percentage of clients who take part in drug and alcohol treatment programs in Cobb Island and across the nation. Judges in the country are finding it more helpful to rehab people who have wound up in the court system for drug related crimes, rather than punishing them to no avail with time in jail and other penalties. It is proven to be more helpful to tackle the trouble of drug addiction directly, than to enforce such penalties. Most who do not end up in drug rehab will typically turn right back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, while criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug treatment generally don't make the same mistakes and have a better chance at remaining abstinent and out of the court system entirely.
