Criminal justice clients in Tecumseh often end up in drug treatment facilities due to the fact they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Many courts put these criminal persons into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system because they feel that rehabilitating these persons will be more effective for the culture at large and for the person, rather than sending them in prison with no rehabilitation at all. This has been proven to be incredibly successful not only in healing and rehabilitating this type of client in Tecumseh, but also in keeping them abstinent and in many instances away from the criminal justice system once and for all.
