Criminal justice clients in Denver, IA. make their way into alcohol and drug treatment programs 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 criminal persons into the alcohol and drug treatment system mainly due to the fact that they consider that treating them will be more productive for society and for the person, rather than putting them in jail with no rehabilitation at all. This has been verified to be incredibly effective not only in treating and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Denver, IA., but also in helping them remain abstinent and in many situations out of the criminal justice system once and for all.
