Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clientele who take part in drug rehab programs in Vancouver, Washington and across the nation. Judges in the country are finding it more beneficial to rehabilitate men and women who have wound up in the court system for drug related crimes, rather than punishing them in vain with jail time and other penalties. It is proven to be more effective to address the trouble of drug or alcohol addiction directly, rather than invoke such penalties. The majority of individuals who do not wind up in drug treatment will typically wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, while criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehab generally don't fall back into drug use and have a much better chance at staying sober and out of the court system for good.
