Criminal justice clients are a significant percentage of clients who take part in drug rehab facilities in Stearns, Kentucky and in the USA. Judges around the country often find it more advantageous to rehab individuals who have wound up in the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, instead of penalizing them to no avail with jail time and other such rulings. It has proven more effective to address the problem of drug or alcohol addiction directly, than to invoke such penalties. Most individuals who do not end up in drug treatment will typically wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in drug treatment generally don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at staying sober and out of the court system completely.
