Criminal justice clients are a significant percentage of clientele who take part in drug and alcohol rehab programs in Smyrna and in the USA. Judges around the country often find it more effective to treat people who have found their way into the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, rather than penalizing them in vain with time in jail and other penalties. It has proven more effective to deal with the problem of addiction directly, rather than enforce these sorts of penalties. The majority of who do not end up in drug rehab will often turn right back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehab often don't fall back into drug use and have a much better chance at staying sober and away from the court system for good.
