Criminal justice clients in Eleroy, Illinois often end up in drug and alcohol rehab facilities due to the fact they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were dealing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Many judges put these types of persons into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabbing them will be more helpful for the culture at large and for the person, rather than placing them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been established to be very successful not only in treating and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Eleroy, Illinois, but also in keeping them sober and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system permanently.
