Criminal justice clients are a considerable percentage of clients who are currently taking part in drug rehab programs in Silver City and in the USA. Judicial systems around the country often find it more beneficial to rehab individuals who have wound up in the court system for drug related crimes, rather than punishing them in vain with jail time and other penalties. It has proven more effective to tackle the problem of addiction directly, than to enforce such penalties. The majority of individuals who do not end up in alcohol and drug rehabilitation will typically wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation generally don't fall back into drug use and have a much better chance at staying abstinent and out of the court system for good.
