Criminal justice clients are a considerable percentage of clientele who take part in drug treatment programs in Fremont and across the nation. Court systems in the country often find it more beneficial to treat people who have found their way into the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, instead of punishing them to no avail with jail time and other penalties. It is proven to be more effective to address the problem of drug or alcohol addiction more straightforwardly, rather than enforce such penalties. The majority of who do not end up in drug and alcohol rehab will typically wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehabilitation generally don't make the same mistakes and have a far better chance at remaining abstinent and out of the court system entirely.
