Criminal justice clients in Nokomis often end up in drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities due to the fact they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Some judges put these criminal persons into the drug treatment system mainly due to the fact that they believe that rehabbing these persons is more productive for the culture at large and for the person, rather than sending them behind bars with no treatment at all. This has been verified to be incredibly workable not only in helping and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Nokomis, but also in keeping them off of drugs and in a lot of cases away from the criminal justice system permanently.
