Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clientele who take part in drug and alcohol treatment programs in Sagola and in the USA. Judicial systems in the country are finding it more advantageous to treat people who have ended up in the criminal justice system for crimes relating to drugs, instead of punishing them to no avail with time in jail and other such rulings. It has proven more successful to handle the issue of drug or alcohol addiction directly, than to enforce such penalties. Most individuals who do not wind up in drug and alcohol treatment will often wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in drug treatment generally don't make the same mistakes and have a far better chance at staying sober and away from the court system completely.
