Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clients who take part in drug treatment programs in Gunlock and across the nation. Court systems in the U.S. often find it more beneficial to rehabilitate men and women who have found their way into the court system for drug related crimes, rather than penalizing them to no avail with jail time and other such rulings. It is proven to be more effective to deal with the trouble of drug or alcohol addiction directly, than to enforce these sorts of penalties. The majority of who do not wind up in alcohol and drug rehab will frequently wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, while criminal justice clients in drug treatment often don't make the same mistakes and have a far better chance at remaining sober and away from the court system for good.
