Criminal justice clients are a considerable percentage of clients who take part in drug and alcohol rehab programs in San Lorenzo, California and in the USA. Judges around the country often find it more advantageous to treat people who have ended up in the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, instead of punishing them in vain with jail time and other such rulings. It has proven more successful to address the trouble of drug or alcohol addiction directly, than to invoke such penalties. The majority of who do not wind up in drug and alcohol treatment will typically wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehab generally don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at staying sober and away from the court system for good.
