Criminal justice clients in Arroyo Hondo, New Mexico often end up in drug and alcohol treatment facilities because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Some judges put these criminal individuals into the alcohol and drug treatment system because they believe that treating them is more helpful for society and for the individual, rather than sending them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be very workable not only in helping and rehabilitating this type of client in Arroyo Hondo, New Mexico, but also in helping them remain off of drugs and in many cases out of the criminal justice system for good.
