Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clients who take part in alcohol and drug treatment programs in Conover and in the USA. Judges in the U.S. are finding it more advantageous to rehab individuals who have found their way into the court system for crimes relating to drugs, instead of punishing them to no avail with time in jail and other penalties. It is proven to be more successful to deal with the problem of addiction more straightforwardly, than to enforce such penalties. Most who do not wind up in drug treatment will typically turn right back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation often don't fall back into drug use and have a much better chance at staying sober and away from the court system for good.
