Criminal justice clients in Canton often end up in drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers due to the fact they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Some judges put these criminal individuals into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they believe that treating these individuals will be more productive for society and for the person, rather than sending them behind bars with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be extremely effective not only in helping and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Canton, but also in helping them remain off of drugs and in many cases out of the criminal justice system permanently.
