Criminal justice clients are a large portion of clientele who take part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Pacific Palisades and in the USA. Court systems around the country often find it more helpful to rehabilitate people who have found their way into 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 problem of drug addiction more straightforwardly, than to invoke such penalties. Most who do not wind up in drug and alcohol rehab will frequently wind back up in the criminal justice hamster wheel, while criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation generally don't fall back into drug use and have a much better chance at remaining abstinent and away from the court system completely.
