Criminal justice clients are a significant portion of clients who are currently taking part in drug and alcohol treatment centers in Marshville and in the USA. Judicial systems in the U.S. often find it more advantageous to rehabilitate men and women who have ended up in the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, instead of penalizing them to no avail with time in jail and other penalties. It has proven more effective to tackle the issue of drug or alcohol addiction directly, rather than enforce such penalties. Most who do not make their way to alcohol and drug rehabilitation will often wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehab generally don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at remaining abstinent and out of the court system entirely.
