Criminal justice clients in Marshall often end up in drug and alcohol rehab programs because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Many courts put these convicted persons into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system because they believe that treating them is more effective for society and for the individual, rather than putting them behind bars with no rehabilitation at all. This has been verified to be incredibly effective not only in treating and rehabilitating this type of client in Marshall, but also in keeping them abstinent and in many situations away from the criminal justice system once and for all.
