Criminal justice clients in Warne, North Carolina make their way into alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Some judges put these convicted individuals into the drug and alcohol rehab system mainly due to the fact that they consider that treating these persons will be more productive for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than sending them in jail with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be very effective not only in helping and rehabilitating this type of client in Warne, North Carolina, but also in helping them remain abstinent and in a number of cases out of the criminal justice system for good.
