Criminal justice clients in Dauphin Island often end up in alcohol and drug treatment facilities because they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Some courts put these types of persons into the alcohol and drug rehab system mainly due to the fact that they believe that rehabilitating these individuals is more helpful for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than sending them in jail with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be incredibly successful not only in helping and rehabilitating this type of client in Dauphin Island, but also in helping them stay abstinent and in many instances away from the criminal justice system permanently.
