Criminal justice clients in Delta often end up in drug and alcohol treatment facilities because they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Some judges put these criminal persons into the drug and alcohol rehab system because they believe that rehabilitating these persons is more helpful for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than placing them behind bars with no rehab at all. This has been verified to be extremely effective not only in healing and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Delta, but also in keeping them abstinent and in a number of cases out of the criminal justice system once and for all.
