Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clientele who take part in drug and alcohol rehab programs in Bainbridge and in the USA. Judges in the U.S. are finding it more helpful to treat individuals who have found their way into the court system for drug related crimes, instead of punishing them to no avail with jail time and other penalties. It has proven more helpful to address the trouble of addiction more straightforwardly, rather than enforce such penalties. Most individuals who do not wind up in drug rehabilitation will typically wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, while criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation generally don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at staying abstinent and out of the court system for good.
