Criminal justice clients are a significant percentage of clients who are currently taking part in alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Greenville, Mississippi and in the USA. Court systems in the U.S. are finding it more helpful to rehab individuals who have found their way into the court system for crimes relating to drugs, instead of penalizing them to no avail with time in jail and other penalties. It has proven more helpful to address the problem of drug addiction directly, than to invoke such penalties. The majority of individuals who do not wind up in drug and alcohol treatment will typically wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug rehab frequently don't fall back into drug use and have a much better chance at remaining abstinent and out of the court system entirely.
