Criminal justice clients in Silsbee make their way into drug and alcohol treatment programs due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Many judges put these types of persons into the alcohol and drug treatment system because they believe that rehabbing these persons is more helpful for society and for the individual, rather than placing them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been verified to be very effective not only in healing and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Silsbee, but also in keeping them abstinent and in many instances away from the criminal justice system for good.
