Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clientele who are currently taking part in drug and alcohol rehab programs in Edwards and in the USA. Judicial systems around the country often find it more helpful to rehab people who have wound up in the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, instead of punishing them in vain with time in jail and other penalties. It has proven more successful to deal with the problem of addiction more straightforwardly, rather than enforce such penalties. The majority of individuals who do not end up in drug treatment will typically turn right back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug treatment often don't make the same mistakes and have a much better chance at remaining sober and out of the court system for good.
