Criminal justice clients are a considerable percentage of clients who take part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Pacific Grove, California and in the USA. Judicial systems in the U.S. often find it more beneficial to treat people who have ended up in the court system for drug related crimes, rather than penalizing them in vain with time in jail and other penalties. It has proven more successful to address the problem of drug or alcohol addiction more straightforwardly, than to enforce these sorts of penalties. The majority of who do not wind up in drug rehab will typically wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, while criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehab often don't fall back into drug use and have a much better chance at staying abstinent and out of the court system entirely.
