Criminal justice clients in Stockholm make their way into drug treatment facilities due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Many judges put these convicted persons into the drug and alcohol treatment system mainly due to the fact that they believe that rehabbing these persons is more effective for the culture at large and for the person, rather than sending them behind bars with no rehabilitation at all. This has been proven to be incredibly successful not only in helping and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Stockholm, but also in keeping them sober and in a number of cases out of the criminal justice system permanently.
