Criminal justice clients in Caledonia, North Dakota make their way into alcohol and drug rehab facilities because they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Many courts put these convicted individuals into the alcohol and drug treatment system mainly due to the fact that they consider that rehabbing these persons will be more helpful for society and for the individual, rather than putting them in jail with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be very successful not only in healing and rehabilitating this type of client in Caledonia, North Dakota, but also in keeping them abstinent and in many cases out of the criminal justice system once and for all.
