Criminal justice clients in Kearsarge often end up in drug and alcohol treatment facilities due to the fact they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Some courts put these types of individuals into the alcohol and drug treatment system because they believe that rehabilitating these persons will be more productive for society and for the individual, rather than placing them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been established to be incredibly successful not only in treating and rehabilitating this type of client in Kearsarge, but also in helping them stay abstinent and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system once and for all.
