Criminal justice clients are a considerable percentage of clients who are currently taking part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Esmont and across the nation. Court systems in the country are finding it more helpful to rehab people who have wound up in the court system for drug related crimes, instead of punishing them in vain with jail time and other penalties. It is proven to be more helpful to tackle the issue of drug addiction directly, rather than enforce these sorts of penalties. Most who do not end up in alcohol and drug treatment will often turn right back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug treatment frequently don't fall back into drug use and have a much better chance at staying sober and away from the court system completely.
