Criminal justice clients are a considerable percentage of clients who take part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Flintstone, Georgia and in the USA. Court systems in the U.S. are finding it more effective to rehabilitate men and women who have ended up in the court system for drug related crimes, instead of punishing them in vain with time in jail and other such rulings. It has proven more helpful to deal with the problem of drug addiction directly, rather than enforce such penalties. Most who do not end up in alcohol and drug treatment will typically turn right back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, while criminal justice clients in drug rehab generally don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at staying sober and out of the court system completely.
