Criminal justice clients in Bremen make their way into drug and alcohol treatment programs because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Some judges put these criminal individuals into the drug treatment system because they consider that treating them is more productive for society and for the person, rather than putting them behind bars with no rehabilitation at all. This has been proven to be incredibly workable not only in treating and rehabbing this type of client in Bremen, but also in helping them stay off of drugs and in many cases out of the criminal justice system permanently.
