Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clientele who are currently taking part in drug and alcohol rehab programs in Elwood and across the nation. Court systems in the U.S. often find it more beneficial to rehabilitate people who have wound up in the criminal justice system for crimes relating to drugs, instead of punishing them to no avail with jail time and other such rulings. It is proven to be more successful to handle the problem of drug or alcohol addiction more straightforwardly, rather than enforce such penalties. The majority of 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 alcohol and drug treatment often don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at remaining sober and out of the court system entirely.
