Criminal justice clients in Martell make their way into drug and alcohol rehab facilities because they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Some courts put these convicted persons into the drug treatment system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabbing these individuals will be more productive for the culture at large and for the person, rather than putting them in prison with no rehabilitation at all. This has been proven to be extremely workable not only in treating and rehabbing this type of client in Martell, but also in helping them remain sober and in many situations away from the criminal justice system permanently.
