Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clients who are currently taking part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Rome, PA. and in the USA. Judicial systems in the U.S. often find it more helpful to rehab men and women who have wound up in the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, instead of punishing them to no avail with time in jail and other penalties. It has proven more successful to handle the problem of addiction more straightforwardly, than to invoke such penalties. The majority of who do not end up in drug rehabilitation will often turn right back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehab generally don't make the same mistakes and have a far better chance at staying sober and out of the court system entirely.
