Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clients who are currently taking part in alcohol and drug rehab centers in Martin, Tennessee and in the USA. Judicial systems in the U.S. are finding it more beneficial to rehab people who have wound up in the court system for crimes relating to drugs, instead of punishing them to no avail with jail time and other such rulings. It has proven more helpful to address the problem of addiction directly, than to enforce such penalties. Most who do not end up in alcohol and drug treatment will often wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehab generally don't fall back into drug use and have a much better chance at staying abstinent and away from the court system for good.
