Criminal justice clients in Elba, Alabama often end up in drug rehab facilities due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Some courts put these criminal persons into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation 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 putting them in prison with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be very effective not only in healing and rehabbing this type of client in Elba, Alabama, but also in keeping them sober and in a number of situations away from the criminal justice system permanently.
