Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clientele who are currently taking part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Gold Beach and across the nation. Judges in the country often find it more effective to rehabilitate people who have wound up in the court system for drug related crimes, rather than punishing them in vain with time in jail and other penalties. It is proven to be more effective to deal with the problem of drug addiction directly, than to enforce these sorts of penalties. The majority of who do not end up in alcohol and drug rehab will often wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation often don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at staying abstinent and away from the court system for good.
