Criminal justice clients in Adams, New York often end up in drug treatment programs because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Some courts put these convicted persons into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system because they believe that treating these individuals will be more helpful for the culture at large and for the person, rather than sending them in prison with no rehabilitation at all. This has been established to be extremely effective not only in helping and rehabilitating this type of client in Adams, New York, but also in helping them stay sober and in a number of instances away from the criminal justice system once and for all.
