Criminal justice clients in Fayetteville make their way into drug and alcohol rehab programs because they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were dealing drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Many judges put these criminal individuals into the alcohol and drug rehab system because they consider that rehabbing these persons is more effective for the culture at large and for the person, rather than putting them behind bars with no rehab at all. This has been established to be extremely effective not only in treating and rehabbing this type of client in Fayetteville, but also in helping them stay off of drugs and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system permanently.
