Criminal justice clients are a considerable percentage of clients who take part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Milroy and in the USA. Judges in the U.S. are finding it more effective to rehabilitate people who have found their way into the court system for crimes relating to drugs, rather than penalizing them in vain with jail time and other penalties. It is proven to be more effective to tackle the trouble of drug addiction directly, than to invoke these sorts of penalties. The majority of individuals who do not end up in alcohol and drug treatment will typically wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehabilitation generally don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at remaining sober and away from the court system completely.
