Criminal justice clients are a considerable percentage of clients who are currently taking part in drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Poland, Maine and across the nation. Court systems around the country are finding it more helpful to rehabilitate individuals who have ended up in the court system for drug related crimes, instead of punishing them in vain with time in jail and other such rulings. It has proven more helpful to deal with the problem of addiction more straightforwardly, rather than invoke such penalties. Most individuals who do not wind up in drug and alcohol treatment will often wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug treatment often don't make the same mistakes and have a better chance at remaining abstinent and out of the court system completely.
