Criminal justice clients are a significant portion of clients who are currently taking part in drug treatment programs in Muldrow and in the USA. Judges in the country are finding it more effective to rehabilitate men and women who have wound up in the court system for crimes relating to drugs, instead of punishing them to no avail with time in jail and other penalties. It is proven to be more helpful to deal with the problem of drug or alcohol addiction directly, than to enforce such penalties. Most who do not wind up in drug and alcohol rehab will often turn right back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehabilitation often don't make the same mistakes and have a far better chance at remaining sober and out of the court system completely.
