Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clients who are currently taking part in drug and alcohol treatment programs in Mount Olive and across the nation. Court systems in the U.S. are finding it more advantageous to rehab individuals who have found their way into the court system for drug related crimes, instead of punishing them to no avail with jail time and other such rulings. It has proven more successful to handle the trouble of drug addiction directly, rather than enforce such penalties. The majority of individuals who do not end up in drug and alcohol rehab will typically turn right back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug treatment generally don't make the same mistakes and have a far better chance at staying sober and out of the court system for good.
