Criminal justice clients are a considerable percentage of clients who are currently taking part in alcohol and drug treatment centers in La Grange, Tennessee and across the nation. Court systems around the country often find it more helpful to treat men and women who have ended up in the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, rather than penalizing them to no avail with time in jail and other such rulings. It has proven more helpful to handle the issue of addiction directly, rather than invoke such penalties. Most who do not end up in alcohol and drug treatment will typically wind back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehabilitation often don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at staying sober and out of the court system entirely.
