Criminal justice clients are a significant portion of clientele who take part in drug and alcohol rehab programs in Tioga, West Virginia and in the USA. Judicial systems in the U.S. are finding it more helpful to rehabilitate individuals who have ended up in the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, instead of punishing them to no avail with jail time and other penalties. It is proven to be more effective to address the issue of drug or alcohol addiction directly, than to invoke such penalties. The majority of individuals who do not end up in alcohol and drug rehab will frequently wind back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation often don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at staying sober and away from the court system entirely.
