Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clientele who take part in drug and alcohol rehab programs in Mountain Pass and in the USA. Judicial systems around the country often find it more advantageous to rehab individuals who have found their way into the court system for drug related crimes, instead of penalizing them in vain with jail time and other penalties. It has proven more helpful to tackle the problem of addiction directly, rather than enforce such penalties. The majority of individuals who do not make their way to drug treatment will frequently wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation often don't make the same mistakes and have a far better chance at remaining abstinent and away from the court system entirely.
