Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clientele who take part in drug treatment facilities in Middlesboro, Kentucky and across the nation. Court systems around the country often find it more helpful to rehab men and women who have ended up in the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, rather than punishing them in vain with time in jail and other such rulings. It has proven more helpful to handle the issue of drug or alcohol addiction directly, than to enforce such penalties. Most who do not end up in drug treatment will typically wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol treatment generally don't make the same mistakes and have a much better chance at staying sober and out of the court system entirely.
