Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clientele who take part in drug and alcohol treatment facilities in Vandalia, Illinois and in the USA. Court systems in the U.S. are finding it more advantageous to treat people who have wound up in the court system for drug related crimes, instead of penalizing them in vain with time in jail and other such rulings. It is proven to be more effective to handle the problem of addiction directly, than to enforce these sorts of penalties. Most individuals who do not wind up in drug and alcohol rehabilitation will frequently turn right back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehabilitation often don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at remaining abstinent and away from the court system entirely.
