Criminal justice clients in Midkiff often end up in drug treatment facilities because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Some judges put these types of individuals into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabilitating these individuals will be more helpful for society and for the individual, rather than placing them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be incredibly effective not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Midkiff, but also in helping them remain sober and in a number of instances away from the criminal justice system permanently.
