Criminal justice clients are a considerable percentage of clientele who take part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Yatahey, NM. and across the nation. Judicial systems in the country often find it more effective to rehab people who have ended up in the court system for drug related crimes, instead of punishing them to no avail with jail time and other such rulings. It has proven more effective to address the problem of addiction directly, rather than invoke such penalties. The majority of who do not wind up in drug rehab will often wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, while criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation frequently don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at remaining abstinent and away from the court system completely.
