Criminal justice clients are a considerable portion of clients who take part in drug and alcohol rehab programs in Keyport, Washington and in the USA. Judicial systems in the U.S. often find it more helpful to rehabilitate individuals who have wound up in the court system for crimes relating to drugs, instead of penalizing them in vain with time in jail and other penalties. It has proven more effective to address the problem of drug addiction directly, than to enforce such penalties. The majority of individuals who do not wind up in alcohol and drug rehabilitation will typically wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, while criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation often don't make the same mistakes and have a better chance at staying abstinent and away from the court system for good.
