Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clientele who are currently taking part in drug treatment facilities in Ocean Gate and across the nation. Judicial systems around the country are finding it more advantageous to treat men and women 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 handle the trouble of drug addiction more straightforwardly, than to enforce such penalties. Most who do not end up in drug rehab will often wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehabilitation generally don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at remaining abstinent and out of the court system for good.
