Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clients who are currently taking part in drug rehabilitation programs in Gurdon, Arkansas and in the USA. Court systems in the U.S. are finding it more beneficial to treat people who have ended up in the court system for crimes relating to drugs, rather than punishing them in vain with time in jail and other such rulings. It is proven to be more successful to address the problem of addiction more straightforwardly, than to invoke such penalties. The majority of who do not end up in drug and alcohol treatment will often wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, while criminal justice clients in drug treatment frequently don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at remaining sober and out of the court system entirely.
