Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clients who take part in drug rehabilitation centers in Schoharie and in the USA. Court systems around the country are finding it more beneficial to treat individuals who have found their way into the criminal justice system for crimes relating to drugs, instead of punishing them in vain with jail time and other penalties. It is proven to be more helpful to deal with the problem of addiction directly, than to enforce such penalties. Most who do not wind up in drug rehabilitation will typically wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehabilitation often don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at remaining abstinent and away from the court system completely.
