Criminal justice clients in Highland often end up in alcohol and drug rehab facilities because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Many judges put these criminal persons into the drug and alcohol rehab system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabbing these persons is more effective for society and for the person, rather than sending them in prison with no rehabilitation at all. This has been verified to be extremely workable not only in treating and rehabbing this type of client in Highland, but also in helping them remain off of drugs and in a number of situations away from the criminal justice system permanently.
