Criminal justice clients are a considerable percentage of clients who are currently taking part in drug rehab facilities in Salida and in the USA. Court systems in the U.S. are finding it more effective to rehab people who have wound up in the criminal justice system for crimes relating to drugs, instead of punishing them in vain with jail time and other penalties. It has proven more effective to tackle the issue of drug or alcohol addiction directly, rather than invoke these sorts of penalties. The majority of who do not end up in drug and alcohol rehab will typically wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehabilitation generally don't make the same mistakes and have a far better chance at remaining abstinent and away from the court system completely.
