Criminal justice clients in Carrington, North Dakota make their way into alcohol and drug rehab programs because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Some judges put these convicted persons into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they feel that treating these persons is more effective for the culture at large and for the person, rather than putting them in jail with no treatment at all. This has been verified to be very workable not only in treating and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Carrington, North Dakota, but also in keeping them sober and in many cases away from the criminal justice system for good.
