Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clients who take part in alcohol and drug rehab programs in Hurst and in the USA. Judicial systems in the U.S. are finding it more helpful to treat men and women who have wound up in the criminal justice system for crimes relating to drugs, rather than penalizing them in vain with jail time and other such rulings. It has proven more successful to handle the problem of drug or alcohol addiction directly, rather than enforce these sorts of penalties. Most individuals who do not wind up in drug and alcohol rehabilitation will often wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation generally don't make the same mistakes and have a better chance at staying abstinent and away from the court system entirely.
