Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clientele who are currently taking part in drug and alcohol treatment facilities in Baxley and across the nation. Court systems in the U.S. often find it more effective to treat men and women who have found their way into the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, instead of penalizing them in vain with jail time and other such rulings. It has proven more helpful to address the issue of addiction directly, than to invoke these sorts of penalties. Most individuals who do not end up in alcohol and drug treatment will typically wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug treatment generally don't make the same mistakes and have a far better chance at remaining sober and away from the court system for good.
