Criminal justice clients in Clint often end up in drug and alcohol treatment programs because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Some judges put these criminal individuals into the drug and alcohol treatment system because they believe that rehabilitating these persons is more effective for society and for the person, rather than placing them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be incredibly successful not only in helping and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Clint, but also in helping them stay abstinent and in a lot of cases out of the criminal justice system permanently.
