Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clients who take part in alcohol and drug treatment programs in Harman and across the nation. Judges in the country are finding it more beneficial to treat individuals who have ended up in the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, rather than punishing them to no avail with time in jail and other such rulings. It has proven more helpful to handle the issue of drug addiction more straightforwardly, rather than enforce such penalties. Most who do not end up in drug and alcohol treatment will typically wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehabilitation often don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at remaining abstinent and away from the court system completely.
