Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clients who take part in drug and alcohol treatment centers in Manti, Utah and across the nation. Court systems around the country often find it more beneficial to treat people who have found their way into the court system for drug related crimes, rather than penalizing them to no avail with time in jail and other such rulings. It has proven more effective to tackle the issue of addiction more straightforwardly, rather than invoke these sorts of penalties. Most who do not make their way to drug and alcohol rehab will often turn right back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug treatment often don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at staying abstinent and out of the court system completely.
