Criminal justice clients in Little Falls make their way into alcohol and drug treatment programs because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Some judges put these criminal persons into the alcohol and drug treatment system because they believe that rehabilitating these individuals will be more effective for society and for the individual, rather than placing them behind bars with no rehabilitation at all. This has been established to be extremely successful not only in helping and rehabilitating this type of client in Little Falls, but also in keeping them abstinent and in many cases out of the criminal justice system permanently.
