Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clientele who take part in alcohol and drug rehab centers in Deerfield and across the nation. Judicial systems in the country are finding it more helpful to treat men and women who have found their way into the court system for drug related crimes, instead of penalizing them in vain with time in jail and other such rulings. It has proven more successful to deal with the problem of drug or alcohol addiction directly, rather than invoke such penalties. Most individuals who do not make their way to drug treatment will often wind back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehabilitation often don't fall back into drug use and have a much better chance at remaining sober and away from the court system completely.
