Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clientele who are currently taking part in drug and alcohol treatment programs in Endicott, New York and in the USA. Judicial systems in the U.S. often find it more advantageous to rehab individuals who have wound up in the court system for crimes relating to drugs, rather than punishing them in vain with jail time and other penalties. It has proven more successful to address the problem of drug or alcohol addiction directly, than to invoke such penalties. The majority of who do not wind up in drug and alcohol rehab will often turn right back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol treatment often don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at remaining sober and away from the court system entirely.
