Criminal justice clients in Pingree often end up in drug rehab centers because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Some courts put these types of individuals into the drug and alcohol treatment system because they feel that rehabbing these persons is more effective for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than sending them behind bars with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be very workable not only in healing and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Pingree, but also in keeping them off of drugs and in a number of cases out of the criminal justice system permanently.
