Criminal justice clients in Plains often end up in drug and alcohol rehab facilities due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Some judges put these types of individuals into the alcohol and drug rehab system because they consider that treating these persons will be more effective for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than sending them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been verified to be incredibly successful not only in healing and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Plains, but also in keeping them off of drugs and in many instances away from the criminal justice system once and for all.
