Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clients who are currently taking part in drug treatment facilities in Elko, NV. and across the nation. Judicial systems in the U.S. are finding it more helpful to rehab men and women who have found their way into the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, instead of penalizing them to no avail with jail time and other such rulings. It is proven to be more helpful to tackle the trouble of addiction more straightforwardly, than to enforce these sorts of penalties. Most who do not end up in drug and alcohol rehabilitation will often wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, while criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehabilitation frequently don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at remaining sober and away from the court system entirely.
