Criminal justice clients in Albany, IL. make their way into drug treatment facilities due to the fact they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Many judges put these convicted persons into the drug treatment system mainly due to the fact that they consider that rehabilitating them is more effective for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be extremely successful not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Albany, IL., but also in helping them stay sober and in many situations away from the criminal justice system once and for all.
