Criminal justice clients are a considerable portion of clients who are currently taking part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Murray and in the USA. Judicial systems in the U.S. often find it more beneficial to rehabilitate people who have wound up in the court system for crimes relating to drugs, instead of penalizing them in vain with jail time and other penalties. It is proven to be more successful to deal with the issue of drug addiction directly, rather than enforce such penalties. Most who do not end up in drug and alcohol rehabilitation will often turn right back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, while criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol treatment frequently don't make the same mistakes and have a better chance at staying sober and away from the court system entirely.
