Criminal justice clients in Cumberland make their way into drug and alcohol rehab centers due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Many judges put these convicted persons into the drug treatment system mainly due to the fact that they consider that rehabbing these individuals is more productive for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than placing them in jail with no treatment at all. This has been verified to be very effective not only in healing and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Cumberland, but also in keeping them sober and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system permanently.
