Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clientele who are currently taking part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Northville and in the USA. Judges in the U.S. often find it more effective to treat people who have found their way into the court system for drug related crimes, rather than penalizing them in vain with jail time and other such rulings. It is proven to be more effective to tackle the problem of drug or alcohol addiction directly, rather than invoke such penalties. The majority of who do not make their way to drug rehabilitation will typically wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, while criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation generally don't make the same mistakes and have a better chance at remaining abstinent and away from the court system entirely.
