Criminal justice clients in Boelus often end up in alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs 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. Many judges put these types of individuals into the alcohol and drug treatment system mainly due to the fact that they consider that rehabbing these individuals will be more productive for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than placing them behind bars with no treatment at all. This has been established to be very successful not only in healing and rehabbing this type of client in Boelus, but also in helping them stay off of drugs and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system permanently.
