Criminal justice clients in Georgetown make their way into alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs due to the fact they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Many judges put these convicted persons into the drug rehabilitation system because they feel that rehabbing these persons is more helpful for the culture at large and for the person, rather than putting them in prison with no rehabilitation at all. This has been established to be very successful not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Georgetown, but also in helping them remain sober and in a number of situations away from the criminal justice system for good.
