Criminal justice clients in Crescent, Iowa make their way into alcohol and drug treatment facilities because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Many judges put these convicted individuals into the drug rehabilitation system because they believe that rehabbing them will be more helpful for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them behind bars with no rehab at all. This has been established to be very workable not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Crescent, Iowa, but also in helping them remain abstinent and in many situations out of the criminal justice system for good.
