Criminal justice clients in Cuba, AL. make their way into drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs due to the fact they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Many judges put these convicted individuals into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they consider that treating these individuals will be more helpful for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them in jail with no treatment at all. This has been established to be quite effective not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Cuba, AL., but also in helping them remain abstinent and in a number of situations away from the criminal justice system for good.
