Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clients who are currently taking part in drug treatment centers in South Kent, Connecticut and in the USA. Judicial systems around the country are finding it more effective to rehab people who have found their way into the court system for drug related crimes, rather than penalizing them to no avail with time in jail and other penalties. It has proven more successful to handle the trouble of addiction directly, than to enforce such penalties. The majority of who do not end up in drug and alcohol treatment will typically wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehab frequently don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at remaining abstinent and away from the court system entirely.
