Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clients who take part in alcohol and drug treatment centers in Dexter City, Ohio and across the nation. Court systems in the country are finding it more beneficial to rehab people who have found their way into the court system for crimes relating to drugs, instead of punishing them in vain with jail time and other penalties. It has proven more effective to tackle the problem of drug or alcohol addiction directly, than to invoke these sorts of penalties. The majority of individuals who do not end up in alcohol and drug rehab will typically wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug rehab often don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at remaining sober and away from the court system completely.
