Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clientele who take part in alcohol and drug treatment programs in Seabrook and across the nation. Judicial systems in the country often find it more effective to rehab people who have found their way into the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, rather than penalizing them in vain with time in jail and other such rulings. It has proven more effective to deal with the issue of drug addiction directly, than to enforce these sorts of penalties. Most individuals who do not end up in drug and alcohol treatment will often wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol treatment frequently don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at remaining abstinent and out of the court system completely.
