Criminal justice clients in Shuqualak, Mississippi often end up in alcohol and drug rehab programs because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Many judges put these convicted individuals into the alcohol and drug rehab system because they feel that treating these individuals is more helpful for society and for the individual, rather than placing them in jail with no rehabilitation at all. This has been proven to be quite workable not only in healing and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Shuqualak, Mississippi, but also in helping them stay abstinent and in many situations away from the criminal justice system permanently.
