Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clientele who are currently taking part in alcohol and drug treatment programs in Orrington, ME. and in the USA. Judicial systems in the U.S. are finding it more helpful to rehabilitate men and women who have found their way into the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, instead of penalizing them in vain with jail time and other penalties. It is proven to be more effective to tackle the issue of drug or alcohol addiction directly, rather than invoke these sorts of penalties. The majority of who do not wind up in alcohol and drug rehab will frequently turn right back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, while criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehabilitation generally don't fall back into drug use and have a much better chance at remaining abstinent and out of the court system for good.
