Criminal justice clients are a significant portion of clientele who take part in drug rehab centers in White Earth, North Dakota and in the USA. Court systems in the country are finding it more effective to treat people who have found their way into the criminal justice system for crimes relating to drugs, rather than punishing them in vain with time in jail and other penalties. It has proven more helpful to handle the problem of addiction directly, than to enforce such penalties. The majority of who do not wind up in drug rehabilitation will often wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehab generally don't make the same mistakes and have a much better chance at remaining abstinent and away from the court system entirely.
