Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clients who take part in drug rehabilitation programs in Fonda and across the nation. Judges in the country often find it more helpful to rehabilitate people who have wound up in the court system for crimes relating to drugs, rather than penalizing them to no avail with time in jail and other such rulings. It is proven to be more helpful to deal with the issue of addiction directly, rather than enforce such penalties. Most who do not end up in alcohol and drug rehab will often wind back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehabilitation often don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at remaining abstinent and away from the court system for good.
