Criminal justice clients are a significant portion of clients who take part in drug rehab facilities in Tusculum and across the nation. Judicial systems in the U.S. are finding it more effective to rehab people who have ended up in the court system for drug related crimes, instead of penalizing them in vain with jail time and other such rulings. It is proven to be more successful to tackle the issue of drug or alcohol addiction directly, rather than enforce such penalties. The majority of who do not make their way to drug and alcohol treatment will frequently wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, while criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehab often don't fall back into drug use and have a much better chance at remaining sober and out of the court system completely.
