Criminal justice clients in Auburn University often end up in alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers due to the fact they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Many courts put these types of persons into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation system because they feel that treating these persons is more effective for society and for the individual, rather than sending them behind bars with no rehabilitation at all. This has been verified to be incredibly workable not only in treating and rehabbing this type of client in Auburn University, but also in helping them stay abstinent and in a lot of instances away from the criminal justice system permanently.
