Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clients who take part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Rochester and in the USA. Court systems in the U.S. often find it more advantageous to rehabilitate individuals who have ended up in the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, instead of punishing them to no avail with jail time and other such rulings. It has proven more effective to address the problem of drug addiction more straightforwardly, than to invoke such penalties. Most individuals who do not end up in drug rehab will often wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation frequently don't make the same mistakes and have a far better chance at remaining abstinent and away from the court system completely.
