Criminal justice clients in Karnes City often end up in drug rehab programs because they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were dealing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Some courts put these convicted persons into the drug and alcohol treatment system because they believe that rehabbing these persons will be more effective for society and for the individual, rather than placing them in jail with no rehabilitation at all. This has been verified to be extremely workable not only in helping and rehabilitating this type of client in Karnes City, but also in helping them remain off of drugs and in a number of situations out of the criminal justice system permanently.
