Criminal justice clients are a considerable percentage of clientele who are currently taking part in drug and alcohol treatment programs in Hebbronville, Texas and across the nation. Judges around the country are finding it more advantageous to treat people who have ended up in the court system for drug related crimes, rather than punishing them in vain with jail time and other penalties. It has proven more helpful to tackle the trouble of addiction directly, than to invoke such penalties. Most who do not make their way to alcohol and drug rehabilitation will frequently turn right back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in drug treatment often don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at staying sober and away from the court system completely.
