Criminal justice clients in Ideal, South Dakota often end up in alcohol and drug treatment facilities due to the fact they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were dealing drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Many courts put these criminal persons into the drug rehab system because they feel that rehabbing these persons will be more productive for society and for the individual, rather than putting them in prison with no rehabilitation at all. This has been established to be very workable not only in treating and rehabbing this type of client in Ideal, South Dakota, but also in helping them stay abstinent and in many cases away from the criminal justice system permanently.
