Criminal justice clients in Gifford often end up in drug rehab programs due to the fact they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Many courts put these criminal persons into the alcohol and drug rehab system mainly due to the fact that they consider that rehabilitating these persons is more effective for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than sending them behind bars with no rehabilitation at all. This has been verified to be very successful not only in healing and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Gifford, but also in helping them remain sober and in a lot of cases out of the criminal justice system permanently.
