Criminal justice clients in Pomfret often end up in drug rehab facilities due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Many courts put these types of persons into the drug and alcohol rehab system because they consider that treating these individuals will be more effective 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 quite successful not only in treating and rehabbing this type of client in Pomfret, but also in keeping them sober and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system permanently.
