Criminal justice clients in Bordentown make their way into drug treatment facilities because they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Many judges put these convicted persons into the drug and alcohol treatment system because they consider that rehabilitating them is more productive for society and for the person, rather than putting them behind bars with no rehabilitation at all. This has been established to be very effective not only in healing and rehabilitating this type of client in Bordentown, but also in helping them remain abstinent and in a lot of instances away from the criminal justice system once and for all.
