Criminal justice clients in Bowen make their way into alcohol and drug rehab programs because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Many judges put these convicted individuals into the drug and alcohol treatment system mainly due to the fact that they believe that rehabbing them will be more effective for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than sending them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been verified to be extremely workable not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Bowen, but also in helping them stay abstinent and in a number of situations away from the criminal justice system permanently.
