Criminal justice clients in Dubois often end up in drug and alcohol treatment facilities because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Some judges put these convicted persons into the drug and alcohol treatment system because they feel that treating these persons will be more helpful for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than placing them in jail with no treatment at all. This has been established to be incredibly workable not only in helping and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Dubois, but also in helping them remain abstinent and in many instances out of the criminal justice system permanently.
