Criminal justice clients are a considerable percentage of clients who take part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Peridot and across the nation. Court systems in the U.S. often find it more advantageous to rehabilitate men and women who have found their way into the court system for drug related crimes, instead of punishing them to no avail with time in jail and other penalties. It is proven to be more successful to address the issue of addiction directly, rather than invoke such penalties. The majority of who do not end up in drug and alcohol treatment will often wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation generally don't make the same mistakes and have a much better chance at remaining sober and away from the court system for good.
