Criminal justice clients in El Reno make their way into alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities because they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Many judges put these convicted persons into the drug and alcohol treatment system because they consider that rehabilitating these persons will be more effective for society and for the individual, rather than putting them in jail with no rehabilitation at all. This has been proven to be incredibly successful not only in healing and rehabbing this type of client in El Reno, but also in keeping them abstinent and in many cases away from the criminal justice system permanently.
