Criminal justice clients in Atwood often end up in alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs due to the fact they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Some judges put these types of individuals into the drug rehab system because they feel that rehabilitating these persons is more effective for society and for the individual, rather than sending them in jail with no rehabilitation at all. This has been established to be very successful not only in treating and rehabbing this type of client in Atwood, but also in keeping them off of drugs and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system once and for all.
