Criminal justice clients in Eldridge often end up in drug treatment centers because they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Many courts put these types of individuals into the alcohol and drug treatment system because they believe that treating them will be more productive for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than placing them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be very workable not only in healing and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Eldridge, but also in keeping them sober and in a number of cases out of the criminal justice system once and for all.
