Criminal justice clients in Cleveland often end up in drug and alcohol rehab facilities because they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Many courts put these types of persons into the drug rehabilitation system because they feel that rehabilitating these persons is more effective for society and for the individual, rather than placing them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been established to be very successful not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Cleveland, but also in helping them remain sober and in a number of situations out of the criminal justice system for good.
