Criminal justice clients in Golva, North Dakota often end up in alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Some courts put these criminal individuals into the drug treatment system because they feel that rehabbing them is more effective for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than sending them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been established to be incredibly workable not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Golva, North Dakota, but also in helping them remain abstinent and in many instances out of the criminal justice system permanently.
