Criminal justice clients in Bard, New Mexico make their way into drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Many judges put these convicted individuals into the drug rehabilitation system because they believe that treating these persons will be more productive for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be incredibly successful not only in treating and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Bard, New Mexico, but also in keeping them off of drugs and in a number of situations out of the criminal justice system for good.
