Criminal justice clients are a significant portion of clientele who are currently taking part in alcohol and drug treatment programs in Lavaca, AR. and in the USA. Judicial systems around the country often find it more effective to rehab men and women who have found their way into the criminal justice system for crimes relating to drugs, instead of punishing them to no avail with jail time and other penalties. It has proven more helpful to address the trouble of drug or alcohol addiction directly, than to enforce such penalties. Most who do not end up in drug rehabilitation will typically turn right back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehab often don't fall back into drug use and have a much better chance at staying sober and out of the court system entirely.
