Criminal justice clients are a considerable portion of clients who take part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Fraser and in the USA. Court systems around the country often find it more effective to rehab people who have found their way into the court system for drug related crimes, instead of punishing them in vain with time in jail and other penalties. It is proven to be more successful to handle the trouble of drug addiction directly, rather than enforce such penalties. Most individuals who do not wind up in drug rehabilitation will often wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation generally don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at remaining sober and away from the court system completely.
