Criminal justice clients are a significant percentage of clientele who take part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Wilton, Connecticut and across the nation. Court systems in the U.S. are finding it more helpful to rehabilitate men and women who have found their way into the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, rather than punishing them to no avail with jail time and other penalties. It has proven more helpful to handle the issue of addiction directly, than to enforce such penalties. Most who do not make their way to drug rehab will typically wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, while criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehabilitation generally don't make the same mistakes and have a far better chance at remaining abstinent and away from the court system for good.
