Criminal justice clients in Girard, OH. make their way into drug and alcohol rehab programs because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Some courts put these criminal individuals into the drug and alcohol treatment system because they believe that rehabilitating these persons is more effective for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them in prison with no rehabilitation at all. This has been verified to be incredibly successful not only in healing and rehabilitating this type of client in Girard, OH., but also in keeping them abstinent and in many instances away from the criminal justice system permanently.
