Criminal justice clients in Sandusky often end up in alcohol and drug rehab facilities because they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were dealing drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Some courts put these convicted persons into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabbing these individuals is more effective for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them in prison with no rehab at all. This has been established to be quite effective not only in helping and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Sandusky, but also in keeping them abstinent and in many situations away from the criminal justice system once and for all.
