Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clientele who are currently taking part in alcohol and drug rehab programs in Macedon and across the nation. Judges in the U.S. often find it more beneficial to rehabilitate individuals who have found their way into the court system for crimes relating to drugs, rather than punishing them to no avail with jail time and other such rulings. It has proven more successful to tackle the problem of addiction directly, than to enforce such penalties. Most individuals who do not end up in drug and alcohol rehabilitation will often wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug rehab frequently don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at staying abstinent and out of the court system entirely.
