Criminal justice clients in Avon often end up in alcohol and drug rehab facilities because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Many judges put these convicted persons into the alcohol and drug treatment system because they consider that treating these persons will be more helpful for society and for the person, rather than putting them in prison with no rehab at all. This has been established to be incredibly workable not only in treating and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Avon, but also in keeping them abstinent and in many instances away from the criminal justice system for good.
