Criminal justice clients in Mount Jewett often end up in alcohol and drug treatment programs due to the fact they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Many courts put these convicted individuals into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation system because they consider that rehabbing these individuals will be more helpful for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than sending them behind bars with no rehabilitation at all. This has been established to be very successful not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Mount Jewett, but also in helping them stay abstinent and in a number of instances away from the criminal justice system permanently.
