Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clients who take part in alcohol and drug rehab programs in Plummer, Minnesota and in the USA. Judicial systems around the country are finding it more effective to rehab individuals who have ended up in the court system for crimes relating to drugs, rather than penalizing them to no avail with time in jail and other penalties. It is proven to be more successful to address the problem of addiction directly, rather than invoke such penalties. The majority of who do not end up in alcohol and drug rehabilitation will typically turn right back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol treatment often don't fall back into drug use and have a much better chance at remaining abstinent and away from the court system completely.
