Criminal justice clients are a significant percentage of clientele who are currently taking part in drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Wheatland and across the nation. Judges around the country often find it more helpful to rehabilitate people who have found their way into the court system for drug related crimes, instead of punishing them in vain with time in jail and other penalties. It is proven to be more helpful to deal with the issue of addiction directly, rather than enforce these sorts of penalties. Most who do not wind up in alcohol and drug rehabilitation will frequently wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, while criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehabilitation often don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at staying abstinent and out of the court system for good.
