Criminal justice clients in Cairo, GA. make their way into alcohol and drug rehab centers because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Some courts put these convicted persons into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they consider that treating these persons is more effective for society and for the person, rather than sending them behind bars with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be extremely workable not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Cairo, GA., but also in helping them stay abstinent and in many situations out of the criminal justice system permanently.
