Criminal justice clients in Mc Ewen, Tennessee often end up in drug and alcohol rehab facilities because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Some judges put these types of individuals into the drug treatment system because they consider that treating these individuals is more productive for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than sending them in prison with no rehabilitation at all. This has been verified to be extremely successful not only in treating and rehabbing this type of client in Mc Ewen, Tennessee, but also in helping them remain abstinent and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system permanently.
