Criminal justice clients in Rhome make their way into alcohol and drug treatment facilities because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Some courts put these criminal individuals into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation system because they consider that rehabilitating these persons is more effective for society and for the individual, rather than sending them in jail with no rehabilitation at all. This has been verified to be quite successful not only in treating and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Rhome, but also in helping them remain abstinent and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system permanently.
