Criminal justice clients in Franklin often end up in alcohol and drug rehab centers because they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Some courts put these criminal persons into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation system because they feel that treating these individuals will be more helpful for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than placing them in prison with no rehabilitation at all. This has been established to be quite workable not only in treating and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Franklin, but also in keeping them off of drugs and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system permanently.
