Criminal justice clients are a large percentage of clientele who are currently taking part in alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Avondale, Colorado and across the nation. Judges in the U.S. often find it more effective to treat individuals who have ended up in the criminal justice system for drug related crimes, rather than penalizing them in vain with jail time and other penalties. It is proven to be more effective to deal with the issue of addiction directly, rather than invoke these sorts of penalties. The majority of individuals who do not end up in alcohol and drug rehab will often turn right back up in the criminal justice system, whilst criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehab often don't fall back into drug use and have a far better chance at staying abstinent and out of the court system entirely.
