Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clientele who are currently taking part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Kula and across the nation. Judges in the country often find it more helpful to rehab individuals who have ended up in the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, rather than penalizing them to no avail with time in jail and other penalties. It has proven more effective to address the issue of drug addiction directly, rather than invoke such penalties. The majority of individuals who do not end up in alcohol and drug rehabilitation will often wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehabilitation often don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at staying sober and out of the court system completely.
