Criminal justice clients in St. Georges often end up in alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers due to the fact they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Many courts put these criminal individuals into the drug and alcohol treatment system because they consider that treating these persons will be more helpful for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been established to be extremely workable not only in helping and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in St. Georges, but also in keeping them abstinent and in a lot of cases away from the criminal justice system permanently.
