Criminal justice clients in Livingston often end up in drug rehab programs due to the fact they were found guilty 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 persons into the alcohol and drug rehab system because they consider that rehabbing these persons is more productive for the culture at large and for the person, rather than placing them in prison with no rehabilitation at all. This has been established to be extremely effective not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Livingston, but also in keeping them abstinent and in many situations away from the criminal justice system for good.
