Criminal justice clients in Yarmouth, Maine make their way into alcohol and drug rehab programs due to the fact they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Some courts put these convicted persons into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system because they believe that treating these individuals is more effective for the culture at large and for the person, rather than placing them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been established to be extremely effective not only in healing and rehabilitating this type of client in Yarmouth, Maine, but also in keeping them sober and in many instances out of the criminal justice system once and for all.
