Criminal justice clients in Paris often end up in alcohol and drug treatment programs because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Many courts put these criminal persons into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they feel that treating these individuals will be more helpful for the culture at large and for the person, rather than sending them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be extremely workable not only in healing and rehabbing this type of client in Paris, but also in helping them remain off of drugs and in a lot of cases out of the criminal justice system permanently.
