Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clients who take part in drug rehab programs in Gainesville and in the USA. Court systems in the country often find it more helpful to rehabilitate men and women who have wound up in the court system for crimes relating to drugs, rather than penalizing them to no avail with jail time and other such rulings. It has proven more successful to tackle the problem of drug addiction directly, rather than enforce these sorts of penalties. Most who do not end up in drug and alcohol rehab will often wind back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation often don't fall back into drug use and have a much better chance at remaining abstinent and away from the court system entirely.
