Criminal justice clients in Hudson make their way into alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Some courts put these criminal individuals into the drug rehab system because they consider that rehabilitating these persons will be more effective for society and for the person, rather than placing them in jail with no rehabilitation at all. This has been established to be very successful not only in healing and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Hudson, but also in keeping them abstinent and in many cases out of the criminal justice system for good.
