Criminal justice client rehabs are available as being a significantly better option than jail time or significant fines for those who have been convicted of any type of alcohol or drug related crime. For example, a person who has been found guilty of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs may qualify to get rehabilitation services for his or her problem as opposed to serving time in prison. The judge may even order the individual receive treatment, either alone or in addition to other sentencing. New offenders in particular in many cases are given the chance to pick a criminal justice client rehab rather than other sentencing, and it is highly recommended that they take advantage of it if it is an alternative. The idea behind criminal justice client rehabs is that it is much more effective and efficient to invest effort and time into treatment than enforcement of other consequences. Much research has been completed to find out how effective this approach is on recidivism rates, i.e. if the criminal justice client returns or not to criminal justice system following rehab. All indicators appear to be quite positive, and criminal justice clients who do experience rehabilitation have better probability of remaining out of the judicial system after rehab.
