Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clients who are currently taking part in alcohol and drug treatment programs in Joy, IL. and in the USA. Court systems in the country often find it more effective to rehabilitate people who have wound up in the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, instead of penalizing them to no avail with time in jail and other penalties. It has proven more effective to tackle the problem of addiction more straightforwardly, than to invoke such penalties. The majority of individuals who do not wind up in drug and alcohol treatment will often wind back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehab generally don't fall back into drug use and have a much better chance at remaining abstinent and away from the court system for good.
