Criminal justice clients are a considerable percentage of clients who take part in alcohol and drug rehab centers in Kershaw, SC. and in the USA. Judicial systems in the U.S. often find it more effective to rehab people who have found their way into the court system for drug related crimes, instead of penalizing them to no avail with time in jail and other penalties. It has proven more successful to deal with the problem of drug addiction directly, rather than enforce such penalties. The majority of individuals who do not end up in alcohol and drug rehab will often wind back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehabilitation frequently don't make the same mistakes and have a better chance at staying sober and away from the court system for good.
