Criminal justice clients in Johannesburg often end up in alcohol and drug treatment centers because they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were dealing drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Some judges put these types of individuals into the drug and alcohol treatment system because they believe that rehabbing these persons will be more helpful for society and for the individual, rather than sending them in prison with no rehabilitation at all. This has been proven to be very workable not only in treating and rehabilitating this type of client in Johannesburg, CA., but also in helping them remain abstinent and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system for good.
