Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clients who are currently taking part in drug and alcohol rehab centers in German Valley and in the USA. Judicial systems in the country are finding it more helpful to rehab people who have found their way into the criminal justice system for crimes relating to drugs, rather than punishing them in vain with time in jail and other penalties. It has proven more successful to address the issue of drug addiction directly, rather than enforce such penalties. The majority of individuals who do not end up in alcohol and drug treatment will often turn right back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation frequently don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at remaining abstinent and away from the court system for good.
