Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clients who take part in drug rehabilitation facilities in Sweetwater and in the USA. Judicial systems around the country are finding it more advantageous to rehab people who have wound up in the criminal justice system for crimes relating to drugs, rather than punishing them in vain with time in jail and other penalties. It has proven more effective to address the problem of drug or alcohol addiction more straightforwardly, than to invoke these sorts of penalties. Most who do not wind up in drug rehabilitation will typically wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, whilst criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol treatment often don't fall back into drug use and have a much better chance at remaining abstinent and away from the court system for good.
