Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clientele who take part in drug and alcohol treatment facilities in Richview and in the USA. Court systems in the U.S. often find it more beneficial to treat people who have found their way into the court system for drug related crimes, instead of punishing them in vain with jail time and other penalties. It has proven more effective to address the issue of addiction directly, rather than invoke such penalties. Most individuals who do not make their way to drug rehab will frequently turn right back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol treatment frequently don't make the same mistakes and have a far better chance at staying abstinent and out of the court system entirely.
