Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clients who take part in alcohol and drug treatment programs in Hendrix and across the nation. Judges around the country often find it more beneficial to rehabilitate men and women who have wound up in the court system for crimes relating to drugs, instead of punishing them to no avail with jail time and other penalties. It has proven more successful to handle the issue of addiction directly, than to enforce these sorts of penalties. The majority of individuals who do not wind up in drug rehabilitation will typically wind back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation often don't fall back into drug use and have a much better chance at staying abstinent and away from the court system completely.
