Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clients who take part in alcohol and drug rehab programs in Genesee and in the USA. Court systems in the U.S. are finding it more effective to treat individuals who have wound up in the court system for drug related crimes, instead of penalizing them to no avail with jail time and other such rulings. It is proven to be more helpful to handle the problem of addiction directly, than to enforce these sorts of penalties. The majority of who do not make their way to drug rehabilitation will frequently turn right back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehab generally don't make the same mistakes and have a much better chance at remaining abstinent and away from the court system for good.
