Criminal justice clients in Idamay make their way into drug and alcohol treatment centers 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. Some courts put these criminal persons into the alcohol and drug rehab system mainly due to the fact that they believe that rehabbing them will be more productive for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than placing them behind bars with no treatment at all. This has been established to be quite effective not only in treating and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Idamay, but also in helping them stay abstinent and in many situations out of the criminal justice system for good.
