Criminal justice clients in Evansville often end up in alcohol and drug treatment programs because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Some courts put these convicted persons into the drug rehabilitation system because they consider that rehabilitating them is more effective for society and for the person, rather than putting them behind bars with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be incredibly successful not only in helping and rehabilitating this type of client in Evansville, but also in keeping them sober and in many instances away from the criminal justice system permanently.
