Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clients who are currently taking part in alcohol and drug treatment programs in Freeport, Florida and in the USA. Judicial systems in the country often find it more helpful to rehabilitate people who have ended up in the court system for crimes relating to drugs, instead of penalizing them to no avail with jail time and other penalties. It has proven more effective to address the issue of addiction directly, than to enforce these sorts of penalties. Most individuals who do not wind up in alcohol and drug rehab will often turn right back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation often don't make the same mistakes and have a far better chance at staying sober and away from the court system completely.
