Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clients who take part in drug treatment facilities in St. Paris and in the USA. Judicial systems in the U.S. often find it more beneficial to rehab men and women who have ended up in the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, rather than penalizing them to no avail with time in jail and other penalties. It is proven to be more helpful to deal with the issue of addiction directly, rather than invoke these sorts of penalties. Most who do not make their way to alcohol and drug rehab will frequently wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehab often don't make the same mistakes and have a far better chance at remaining abstinent and out of the court system entirely.
