Criminal justice clients in Friona often end up in drug and alcohol treatment programs due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Some judges put these criminal individuals into the drug and alcohol rehab system mainly due to the fact that they consider that rehabbing these individuals will be more productive for the culture at large and for the person, rather than sending them behind bars with no rehab at all. This has been established to be extremely workable not only in treating and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Friona, but also in helping them stay abstinent and in many cases away from the criminal justice system once and for all.
