Criminal justice clients in Lawrence, NE. make their way into drug rehabilitation centers because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Some judges put these convicted individuals into the drug and alcohol rehab system because they feel that rehabilitating these persons will be more helpful for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than sending them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been established to be quite effective not only in treating and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Lawrence, NE., but also in helping them remain abstinent and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system once and for all.
