Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clients who are currently taking part in drug rehab programs in Hague and across the nation. Judicial systems around the country often find it more effective to treat people who have ended up in the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, rather than penalizing them in vain with time in jail and other penalties. It is proven to be more successful to handle the problem of addiction directly, rather than enforce these sorts of penalties. Most individuals who do not end up in alcohol and drug rehab will often turn right back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehabilitation often don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at remaining sober and out of the court system entirely.
