Criminal justice clients in Florence often end up in drug rehabilitation centers because they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Many judges put these criminal persons into the drug rehabilitation system because they feel that rehabbing them is more effective for the culture at large and for the person, rather than placing them behind bars with no rehabilitation at all. This has been established to be quite effective not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Florence, but also in keeping them off of drugs and in a lot of instances out of the criminal justice system for good.
