Criminal justice clients in Boerne make their way into drug and alcohol rehab centers because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Many courts put these convicted individuals into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they consider that rehabilitating these individuals is more productive for the culture at large and for the person, rather than putting them in prison with no rehabilitation at all. This has been proven to be incredibly effective not only in helping and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Boerne, but also in helping them stay off of drugs and in a number of situations out of the criminal justice system permanently.
