Criminal justice clients in Clute, Texas make their way into alcohol and drug treatment programs because they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were dealing drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Some judges put these convicted individuals into the drug treatment system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabbing them is more effective for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them behind bars with no rehabilitation at all. This has been proven to be quite effective not only in helping and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Clute, Texas, but also in helping them remain sober and in a number of situations out of the criminal justice system for good.
