Criminal justice clients are a considerable portion of clients who take part in drug and alcohol treatment programs in Welsh and across the nation. Judges in the country often find it more advantageous to rehabilitate people who have found their way into the criminal justice system for crimes relating to drugs, rather than punishing them in vain with jail time and other such rulings. It is proven to be more successful to address the trouble of drug addiction directly, rather than invoke such penalties. The majority of who do not wind up in drug and alcohol rehabilitation will frequently wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in drug rehab often don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at staying sober and out of the court system entirely.
