Criminal justice clients are a considerable percentage of clientele who are currently taking part in drug treatment programs in Coldspring and in the USA. Court systems in the U.S. often find it more advantageous to treat people who have ended up in the court system for drug related crimes, instead of penalizing them to no avail with jail time and other penalties. It has proven more successful to deal with the issue of drug addiction directly, than to enforce these sorts of penalties. Most who do not end up in drug treatment will typically wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, while criminal justice clients in drug rehab frequently don't make the same mistakes and have a better chance at staying abstinent and out of the court system completely.
