Criminal justice clients are a considerable portion of clientele who are currently taking part in drug rehabilitation programs in Springfield and across the nation. Judges around the country are finding it more beneficial to rehabilitate men and women 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 is proven to be more effective to tackle the problem of addiction more straightforwardly, than to enforce such penalties. The majority of who do not wind up in drug rehabilitation will typically wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehabilitation often don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at staying abstinent and out of the court system completely.
