Criminal justice clients in Carolina make their way into drug rehab programs due to the fact they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were dealing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Some courts put these types of persons into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they consider that rehabbing these individuals is more helpful for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than placing them in jail with no rehabilitation at all. This has been proven to be extremely successful not only in helping and rehabilitating this type of client in Carolina, but also in helping them remain abstinent and in many situations out of the criminal justice system for good.
