On the other hand, only one client finally graduated from the Drug Court. They have already obtained their own jobs, of course, produced negative drug screens, and are in better condition. My reaction to visiting drug court was everything was new for me because my country, Japan, doesn t have drug court, or rehabilitation program. I think drug court is a very good system for the people who have a drug addiction or are alcoholics, because it is hard for them to return to the society. In addition, there are so many people in the U.S. who use drugs compared with people in Japan.
People also can get drugs so easily here.
All in all, drug court was a different system from regular court. Drug court gives clients the opportunity to cure drug addiction or alcoholism. Also, the rehabilitation program encourages clients and saves their lives. In my opinion, it is better to give them treatment rather than put them in jail, because drug addiction or alcoholism is an illness.
