Criminal justice clients in Edina, Missouri often end up in drug and alcohol rehab programs because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Many courts put these criminal individuals into the drug rehab system mainly due to the fact that they believe that rehabilitating them will be more effective for the culture at large and for the person, rather than sending them in jail with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be very workable not only in helping and rehabilitating this type of client in Edina, Missouri, but also in helping them stay off of drugs and in a number of instances away from the criminal justice system permanently.
