Criminal justice clients in Girard often end up in drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Some judges put these types of individuals into the drug and alcohol rehab system because they believe that rehabbing them is more effective for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than placing them behind bars with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be quite workable not only in healing and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Girard, but also in helping them stay sober and in a lot of cases out of the criminal justice system for good.
