Criminal justice clients are a significant portion of clients who take part in alcohol and drug rehab programs in Driftwood, TX. and across the nation. Judges in the U.S. are finding it more effective to rehabilitate individuals who have found their way into the court system for crimes relating to drugs, rather than penalizing them to no avail with jail time and other such rulings. It has proven more helpful to tackle the problem of drug or alcohol addiction directly, rather than enforce such penalties. Most who do not wind up in drug rehabilitation will often wind back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in drug treatment generally don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at staying abstinent and away from the court system for good.
