Criminal justice clients are a significant percentage of clientele who take part in drug treatment centers in Sheyenne, ND. and across the nation. Judicial systems around the country often find it more effective to treat men and women who have wound up in the court system for drug related crimes, instead of punishing them to no avail with jail time and other penalties. It has proven more effective to deal with the issue of drug addiction directly, rather than enforce such penalties. Most who do not make their way to drug treatment will frequently wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug treatment often don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at remaining sober and away from the court system completely.
