Criminal justice clients in Battleboro make their way into drug rehab programs due to the fact they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Many courts put these types of persons into the drug rehab system because they feel that rehabilitating these persons is more productive for society and for the individual, rather than placing them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been verified to be very effective not only in helping and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Battleboro, but also in helping them stay sober and in a number of instances out of the criminal justice system permanently.
