Criminal justice clients in Dunseith make their way into alcohol and drug rehab centers due to the fact they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Some courts put these criminal persons into the alcohol and drug treatment system because they feel that rehabbing these persons will be more effective 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 quite successful not only in treating and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Dunseith, but also in keeping them sober and in a lot of instances out of the criminal justice system once and for all.
