Criminal justice clients are a significant portion of clientele who take part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Whittaker and across the nation. Court systems around the country often find it more advantageous to rehab men and women 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 such rulings. It is proven to be more successful to deal with the problem of addiction more straightforwardly, rather than enforce such penalties. Most individuals who do not end up in drug treatment will typically wind back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol treatment often don't fall back into drug use and have a better chance at remaining abstinent and out of the court system for good.
