Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clientele who take part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Gladbrook, Iowa and across the nation. Court systems in the U.S. often find it more helpful to treat people who have ended up in the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, rather than punishing them in vain with jail time and other penalties. It is proven to be more helpful to address the problem of drug or alcohol addiction directly, than to invoke these sorts of penalties. Most who do not wind up in alcohol and drug rehabilitation will typically wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, while criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehabilitation generally don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at remaining abstinent and out of the court system entirely.
