Criminal justice clients are a significant percentage of clients who take part in drug rehab programs in Cottonwood, ID. and across the nation. Judicial systems in the U.S. are finding it more advantageous to rehabilitate people who have wound up in the court system for drug related crimes, rather than penalizing them in vain with time in jail and other penalties. It is proven to be more helpful to deal with the problem of drug or alcohol addiction directly, rather than invoke such penalties. Most individuals who do not wind up in drug and alcohol treatment will typically wind back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehab often don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at staying sober and away from the court system entirely.
