Criminal justice clients are a significant percentage of clients who take part in alcohol and drug treatment programs in Entiat, WA. and in the USA. Court systems around the country often find it more beneficial to rehab individuals who have found their way into the court system for drug related crimes, instead of penalizing them to no avail with jail time and other such rulings. It has proven more successful to deal with the problem of drug or alcohol addiction more straightforwardly, rather than invoke these sorts of penalties. Most who do not make their way to drug rehab will typically wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation generally don't fall back into drug use and have a much better chance at staying sober and out of the court system entirely.
