Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clients who are currently taking part in drug rehab facilities in Menard and across the nation. Court systems around the country are finding it more beneficial to rehab individuals who have found their way into the court system for drug related crimes, rather than penalizing them in vain with time in jail and other such rulings. It is proven to be more effective to tackle the trouble of addiction directly, than to enforce such penalties. Most who do not make their way to drug and alcohol treatment will frequently turn right back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation generally don't fall back into drug use and have a much better chance at remaining sober and out of the court system for good.
