Criminal justice clients are a significant percentage of clients who take part in drug treatment facilities in Alamo, Nevada and in the USA. Judicial systems around the country are finding it more helpful to treat individuals who have found their way into the court system for drug related crimes, instead of penalizing them to no avail with jail time and other penalties. It has proven more helpful to deal with the issue of addiction directly, rather than enforce such penalties. Most who do not wind up in drug and alcohol rehab will often turn right back up in the criminal justice system, while criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol treatment generally don't make the same mistakes and have a much better chance at remaining sober and away from the court system for good.
