Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clients who take part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Wright and in the USA. Judges around the country often find it more helpful to treat individuals who have found their way into the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, instead of penalizing them to no avail with time in jail and other such rulings. It is proven to be more successful to handle the trouble of addiction directly, rather than invoke such penalties. The majority of who do not end up in drug rehabilitation will often wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in drug rehab generally don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at remaining sober and away from the court system entirely.
