Criminal justice clients are a considerable percentage of clients who are currently taking part in drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Hudson Oaks and in the USA. Court systems in the U.S. are finding it more beneficial to treat people who have wound up in the court system for drug related crimes, instead of penalizing them in vain with jail time and other penalties. It has proven more successful to deal with the problem of drug or alcohol addiction more straightforwardly, than to invoke such penalties. Most who do not make their way to alcohol and drug treatment will typically wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehab generally don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at remaining sober and away from the court system entirely.
