Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clients who are currently taking part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Point Lay, AK. and across the nation. Court systems around the country often find it more beneficial to rehab individuals who have wound up in the court system for drug related crimes, rather than penalizing them in vain with jail time and other penalties. It has proven more helpful to tackle the issue of drug addiction directly, rather than invoke these sorts of penalties. Most individuals who do not end up in drug treatment will often turn right back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehabilitation often don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at staying abstinent and out of the court system completely.
