Criminal justice clients are a significant portion of clientele who take part in alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Patterson, New York and across the nation. Judicial systems in the country often find it more advantageous to rehab individuals who have found their way into the court system for drug related crimes, rather than punishing them to no avail with jail time and other penalties. It has proven more successful to address the problem of addiction directly, rather than invoke such penalties. The majority of who do not wind up in drug and alcohol rehab will often wind back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehab generally don't make the same mistakes and have a much better chance at remaining abstinent and out of the court system completely.
