Criminal justice clients are a significant percentage of clientele who are currently taking part in alcohol and drug treatment programs in Oquawka, Illinois and in the USA. Court systems around the country are finding it more beneficial to rehab men and women who have wound up in the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, instead of penalizing them in vain with time in jail and other such rulings. It has proven more helpful to address the problem of drug or alcohol addiction directly, than to enforce such penalties. Most who do not end up in drug treatment will typically turn right back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation generally don't make the same mistakes and have a better chance at staying sober and out of the court system entirely.
