Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clientele who are currently taking part in alcohol and drug treatment programs in Kerens and in the USA. Court systems in the U.S. are finding it more beneficial to rehabilitate men and women who have ended up in the court system for drug related crimes, rather than penalizing them to no avail with time in jail and other penalties. It has proven more successful to tackle the problem of drug or alcohol addiction more straightforwardly, rather than enforce these sorts of penalties. The majority of who do not wind up in drug treatment will often turn right back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehabilitation generally don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at remaining sober and out of the court system entirely.
