Criminal justice clients are a considerable percentage of clients who take part in alcohol and drug rehab programs in Lava Hot Springs and in the USA. Judicial systems around the country are finding it more beneficial to rehabilitate people 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 is proven to be more effective to tackle the problem of addiction directly, rather than enforce such penalties. The majority of who do not wind up in drug and alcohol rehab will frequently wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation generally don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at remaining abstinent and out of the court system for good.
