Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clients who are currently taking part in drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Gray, KY. and in the USA. Judges in the U.S. often find it more effective 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 jail time and other such rulings. It has proven more effective to tackle the issue of addiction directly, than to enforce such penalties. The majority of individuals who do not end up in drug and alcohol treatment will frequently 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 abstinent and away from the court system completely.
