Criminal justice clients in Juneau often end up in drug rehabilitation centers due to the fact they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Some courts put these criminal persons into the alcohol and drug treatment system because they consider that rehabilitating them will be more effective for the culture at large and for the person, rather than putting them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be extremely workable not only in healing and rehabilitating this type of client in Juneau, but also in keeping them off of drugs and in many cases out of the criminal justice system once and for all.
