Criminal justice clients are a significant percentage of clients who take part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in St. Hilaire, MN. and across the nation. Judicial systems in the U.S. are finding it more helpful to rehab individuals who have wound up in the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, rather than punishing them in vain with jail time and other penalties. It is proven to be more successful to handle the trouble of addiction directly, rather than enforce such penalties. Most individuals who do not wind up in drug rehabilitation will often wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehab often don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at staying sober and out of the court system completely.
