Criminal justice clients in Columbus often end up in drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Some courts put these convicted persons into the drug treatment system because they feel that rehabbing these persons will be more effective for society and for the person, rather than placing them in jail with no rehabilitation at all. This has been proven to be incredibly workable not only in healing and rehabilitating this type of client in Columbus, but also in keeping them sober and in a number of instances out of the criminal justice system permanently.
