Criminal justice clients in Savannah often end up in drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers due to the fact they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Some courts put these criminal individuals into the alcohol and drug rehab system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabbing these persons is more productive for the culture at large and for the person, rather than putting them behind bars with no rehabilitation at all. This has been verified to be quite effective not only in helping and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Savannah, but also in keeping them off of drugs and in a number of instances away from the criminal justice system for good.
