Criminal justice clients in Nashua often end up in drug and alcohol rehab programs due to the fact they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Some judges put these convicted individuals into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they consider that rehabilitating these individuals is more productive for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than placing them behind bars with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be extremely effective not only in helping and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Nashua, but also in keeping them sober and in a lot of situations out of the criminal justice system permanently.
