Criminal justice clients in Nazareth often end up in drug and alcohol rehab centers due to the fact they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were dealing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Many judges put these convicted persons into the drug rehabilitation 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 established to be very workable not only in helping and rehabilitating this type of client in Nazareth, but also in helping them remain abstinent and in a number of situations out of the criminal justice system permanently.
