Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clientele who are currently taking part in alcohol and drug treatment programs in Kiowa, Kansas and in the USA. Judges in the U.S. often find it more helpful to rehabilitate men and women who have ended up in the court system for crimes relating to drugs, instead of punishing them to no avail with time in jail and other such rulings. It has proven more helpful to deal with the issue of drug or alcohol addiction directly, than to enforce such penalties. The majority of individuals who do not make their way to drug rehabilitation will often 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 abstinent and away from the court system for good.
