Criminal justice clients in Odem make their way into drug treatment centers because they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Many courts put these criminal persons into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system because they believe that rehabbing these persons will be more productive for society and for the individual, rather than placing them in prison with no rehabilitation at all. This has been proven to be incredibly successful not only in healing and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Odem, but also in helping them stay off of drugs and in many situations out of the criminal justice system for good.
