Criminal justice clients in Stanton, North Dakota often end up in drug and alcohol treatment centers because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Many courts put these types of persons into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system because they believe that rehabilitating these persons is more productive for society and for the person, rather than putting them behind bars with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be quite effective not only in helping and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Stanton, North Dakota, but also in helping them stay off of drugs and in a lot of instances away from the criminal justice system permanently.
