Criminal justice clients in Flatonia often end up in drug treatment facilities due to the fact they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Many courts put these criminal persons into the drug treatment system mainly due to the fact that they believe that rehabbing these individuals will be more effective for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them in prison with no rehab at all. This has been established to be incredibly effective not only in healing and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Flatonia, but also in helping them stay off of drugs and in a number of cases out of the criminal justice system for good.
