Criminal justice clients are a significant percentage of clients who take part in alcohol and drug treatment facilities in Stockbridge and in the USA. Judicial systems in the U.S. are finding it more advantageous to rehabilitate individuals who have wound up in the court system for drug related crimes, rather than punishing them to no avail with jail time and other such rulings. It has proven more successful to address the problem of addiction directly, rather than enforce these sorts of penalties. The majority of who do not end up in drug treatment will often turn right back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol treatment frequently don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at staying abstinent and out of the court system entirely.
