Criminal justice clients in Puunene, HI. often end up in drug and alcohol treatment facilities because they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Some courts put these convicted individuals into the drug and alcohol treatment system mainly due to the fact that they consider that treating these persons is more effective for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than placing them in prison with no rehabilitation at all. This has been proven to be extremely workable not only in helping and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Puunene, HI., but also in helping them remain sober and in a lot of instances away from the criminal justice system permanently.
