Criminal justice clients in Dresden, Ohio make their way into drug rehab programs due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Many courts put these convicted persons into the drug and alcohol rehab system mainly due to the fact that they believe that treating these persons will be more helpful for the culture at large and for the person, rather than putting them behind bars with no treatment at all. This has been established to be quite successful not only in helping and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Dresden, Ohio, but also in helping them remain abstinent and in a lot of cases out of the criminal justice system permanently.
