Criminal justice clients are a considerable portion of clients who take part in drug and alcohol rehab programs in Irene, South Dakota and in the USA. Judges in the country are finding it more helpful to rehab men and women who have wound up in the criminal justice system for crimes relating to drugs, instead of penalizing them to no avail with time in jail and other penalties. It has proven more effective to handle the issue of addiction directly, rather than invoke such penalties. Most who do not make their way to drug rehabilitation will typically wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug treatment often don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at remaining sober and out of the court system entirely.
