Criminal justice clients in Clare make their way into alcohol and drug rehab centers due to the fact they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Some judges put these criminal individuals into the drug treatment system because they feel that treating them will be more productive for society and for the individual, rather than sending them in prison with no rehabilitation at all. This has been established to be incredibly successful not only in treating and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Clare, but also in helping them remain off of drugs and in many cases away from the criminal justice system for good.
