Well, it’s very advisable that they still go through a drug treatment program after they have been released from jail. The treatment of one’s drug addiction should not end in the prison halls due to the fact that there is a stronger tendency for relapses to occur once the individual is already in the outside world. Joining 12-step programs will get to help him too.
