Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clients who take part in alcohol and drug treatment centers in Roberts and across the nation. Court systems in the country often find it more effective to rehab men and women who have wound up in the court system for drug related crimes, instead of punishing them in vain with time in jail and other penalties. It has proven more successful to tackle the issue of drug addiction directly, than to invoke such penalties. Most who do not wind up in drug rehabilitation will often wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in drug rehab often don't make the same mistakes and have a better chance at staying abstinent and away from the court system entirely.
