Criminal justice clients in Bellefontaine often end up in drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Many courts put these convicted individuals into the drug rehabilitation system because they feel that rehabbing these individuals is more effective for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than sending them in prison with no rehab at all. This has been verified to be extremely successful not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Bellefontaine, but also in keeping them off of drugs and in many instances out of the criminal justice system once and for all.
