Criminal justice clients are a significant percentage of clients who take part in alcohol and drug treatment centers in Moose Pass, Alaska and in the USA. Judges in the country often find it more effective to rehabilitate people who have found their way into the court system for drug related crimes, rather than punishing them in vain with jail time and other penalties. It has proven more effective to address the issue of addiction more straightforwardly, rather than invoke these sorts of penalties. The majority of who do not make their way to alcohol and drug rehabilitation will often wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug treatment often don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at remaining abstinent and out of the court system entirely.
