Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clients who take part in drug rehab centers in Cambridgeport, VT. and in the USA. Court systems in the U.S. often find it more effective to treat people who have wound up in the court system for crimes relating to drugs, rather than punishing them to no avail with jail time and other penalties. It is proven to be more effective to deal with the trouble of addiction directly, than to enforce these sorts of penalties. Most who do not make their way to drug treatment will typically turn right back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in drug treatment often don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at remaining abstinent and out of the court system entirely.
