Criminal justice clients are a considerable percentage of clients who are currently taking part in drug rehab facilities in Marcellus, New York and across the nation. Court systems in the U.S. often find it more helpful to rehabilitate men and women who have wound up in the court system for drug related crimes, rather than punishing them to no avail with time in jail and other penalties. It has proven more effective to handle the issue of drug or alcohol addiction directly, rather than enforce such penalties. Most who do not end up in alcohol and drug rehab will frequently wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug treatment frequently don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at staying sober and out of the court system for good.
