Criminal justice clients in Inkster, North Dakota often end up in alcohol and drug rehab programs because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Many judges put these criminal individuals into the alcohol and drug treatment system mainly due to the fact that they believe that rehabbing them is more effective for society and for the individual, rather than placing them behind bars with no rehabilitation at all. This has been verified to be quite effective not only in helping and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Inkster, North Dakota, but also in helping them remain abstinent and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system for good.
