Criminal justice clients are a considerable percentage of clients who are currently taking part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Georgetown, California and across the nation. Court systems in the U.S. are finding it more advantageous to rehab men and women who have found their way into the court system for crimes relating to drugs, rather than punishing them to no avail with time in jail and other penalties. It has proven more successful to tackle the problem of drug or alcohol addiction directly, rather than enforce these sorts of penalties. The majority of individuals who do not end up in drug rehabilitation will often wind back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation generally don't make the same mistakes and have a far better chance at staying sober and away from the court system entirely.
