Criminal justice clients in Mint Spring often end up in alcohol and drug treatment centers because they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Many courts put these criminal individuals into the drug treatment system because they believe that rehabbing these individuals is more productive for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be very workable not only in healing and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Mint Spring, but also in helping them stay off of drugs and in a number of situations out of the criminal justice system permanently.
