Criminal justice clients in Fort Kent, Maine often end up in drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Many courts put these types of persons into the drug rehab system because they consider that treating these persons will be more helpful for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than sending them in prison with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be very effective not only in helping and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Fort Kent, Maine, but also in keeping them sober and in many instances away from the criminal justice system for good.
