Criminal justice clients are a significant portion of clientele who are currently taking part in drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Grand Canyon and across the nation. Judicial systems in the U.S. are finding it more helpful to rehabilitate people who have wound up in the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, rather than penalizing them to no avail with jail time and other penalties. It is proven to be more effective to deal with the issue of addiction directly, than to invoke these sorts of penalties. Most who do not wind up in drug rehabilitation will frequently turn right back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehabilitation generally don't make the same mistakes and have a better chance at remaining abstinent and out of the court system entirely.
