Criminal justice clients in Cannelton make their way into drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Some courts put these types of individuals into the drug and alcohol treatment system because they consider that treating them will be more effective for society and for the individual, rather than putting them in prison with no rehab at all. This has been verified to be very successful not only in healing and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Cannelton, but also in helping them stay abstinent and in many situations out of the criminal justice system for good.
