Criminal justice clients are a significant percentage of clientele who take part in alcohol and drug treatment facilities in Port Huron and in the USA. Judicial systems in the U.S. often find it more helpful to treat people who have found their way into the court system for crimes relating to drugs, rather than penalizing them to no avail with time in jail and other penalties. It is proven to be more successful to tackle the problem of drug or alcohol addiction directly, rather than enforce these sorts of penalties. The majority of individuals who do not make their way to alcohol and drug rehab will often wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol treatment generally don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at remaining abstinent and away from the court system entirely.
