Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clients who take part in drug rehab programs in Coulee Dam, Washington and in the USA. Judicial systems in the country are finding it more helpful to rehabilitate men and women who have wound up in the court system for crimes relating to drugs, instead of punishing them in vain with time in jail and other penalties. It has proven more helpful to tackle the problem of addiction directly, than to invoke such penalties. The majority of who do not wind up in drug treatment will often wind back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehabilitation generally don't fall back into drug use and have a much better chance at remaining abstinent and away from the court system for good.
