Criminal justice clients in Metcalfe make their way into alcohol and drug rehab facilities due to the fact they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Many judges put these types of persons into the drug and alcohol treatment system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabilitating these persons will be more productive for society and for the person, rather than placing them in prison with no rehabilitation at all. This has been proven to be very effective not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Metcalfe, but also in keeping them abstinent and in many situations out of the criminal justice system for good.
