Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clients who are currently taking part in drug rehabilitation programs in Leighton, Iowa and in the USA. Judicial systems in the U.S. often find it more effective to rehabilitate people who have ended up in the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, rather than penalizing them in vain with time in jail and other penalties. It has proven more helpful to deal with the problem of addiction more straightforwardly, than to enforce these sorts of penalties. The majority of individuals who do not end up in drug and alcohol treatment will typically wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehabilitation generally don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at staying sober and away from the court system for good.
