Criminal justice clients in Kingston often end up in alcohol and drug treatment centers due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Some judges put these criminal individuals into the drug rehab system because they feel that rehabilitating them will be more productive for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them in prison with no rehab at all. This has been established to be very workable not only in treating and rehabilitating this type of client in Kingston, but also in helping them remain abstinent and in many cases away from the criminal justice system for good.
