Criminal justice clients in Gardendale often end up in alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs due to the fact they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Many courts put these types of individuals into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system because they believe that rehabbing them will be more effective for society and for the person, rather than putting them in prison with no rehab at all. This has been verified to be very workable not only in treating and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Gardendale, but also in keeping them off of drugs and in many cases away from the criminal justice system once and for all.
