Criminal justice clients are a significant portion of clients who take part in drug rehab programs in Chase City, Virginia and across the nation. Judicial systems in the U.S. often find it more helpful to treat people who have ended up in the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, rather than punishing them to no avail with jail time and other penalties. It is proven to be more successful to tackle the problem of drug or alcohol addiction directly, rather than enforce such penalties. Most who do not wind up in drug rehab will typically wind back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehabilitation frequently don't make the same mistakes and have a better chance at remaining abstinent and away from the court system for good.
