Criminal justice clients in Hazel, South Dakota often end up in drug and alcohol treatment centers because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Some courts put these criminal persons into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they believe that rehabbing these persons is more effective for society and for the individual, rather than placing them in prison with no rehabilitation at all. This has been proven to be quite workable not only in helping and rehabilitating this type of client in Hazel, South Dakota, but also in helping them stay sober and in a number of instances out of the criminal justice system for good.
