Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clientele who are currently taking part in alcohol and drug treatment facilities in Cape Elizabeth and in the USA. Court systems in the country often find it more effective to rehabilitate people who have ended up in the criminal justice system for crimes relating to drugs, instead of penalizing them in vain with jail time and other such rulings. It is proven to be more helpful to address the problem of drug addiction more straightforwardly, than to invoke these sorts of penalties. Most individuals who do not make their way to drug rehab will typically wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug rehab often don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at staying sober and away from the court system for good.
