Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clientele who take part in drug treatment facilities in Goshen and across the nation. Judges in the U.S. often find it more effective to rehabilitate individuals who have ended up in the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, instead of punishing them in vain with time in jail and other such rulings. It has proven more helpful to address the problem of drug or alcohol addiction directly, rather than enforce such penalties. The majority of individuals who do not make their way to drug and alcohol rehabilitation will typically wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, while criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug treatment generally don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at remaining sober and out of the court system entirely.
