Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clients who take part in drug treatment facilities in Etta and across the nation. Court systems in the U.S. often find it more beneficial to rehabilitate individuals who have ended up in the court system for drug related crimes, rather than penalizing them in vain with time in jail and other such rulings. It is proven to be more effective to deal with the problem of drug or alcohol addiction directly, rather than enforce these sorts of penalties. Most who do not end up in drug and alcohol treatment will often turn right back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, while criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehabilitation often don't make the same mistakes and have a better chance at staying sober and away from the court system for good.
