Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clientele who take part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Tazewell, Tennessee and in the USA. Judicial systems around the country often find it more helpful to rehabilitate individuals who have ended up in the court system for drug related crimes, instead of penalizing them to no avail with jail time and other penalties. It has proven more helpful to address the problem of drug addiction more straightforwardly, rather than invoke such penalties. Most who do not wind up in drug and alcohol rehabilitation will frequently wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, while criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation generally don't make the same mistakes and have a better chance at remaining abstinent and away from the court system entirely.
