Criminal justice clients in Tallapoosa, Georgia often end up in drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Many courts put these convicted individuals into the drug and alcohol treatment system mainly due to the fact that they believe that rehabbing these individuals is more helpful for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than sending them in jail with no treatment at all. This has been verified to be extremely successful not only in treating and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Tallapoosa, Georgia, but also in helping them remain off of drugs and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system for good.
