Criminal justice clients in Hope make their way into drug and alcohol rehab centers due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Many courts put these types of individuals into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabilitating these persons will be more productive for society and for the person, rather than placing them in prison with no rehabilitation at all. This has been established to be incredibly successful not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Hope, but also in keeping them sober and in a number of instances away from the criminal justice system for good.
