Criminal justice clients in Monticello make their way into drug and alcohol treatment facilities because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Many courts put these types of individuals into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system because they feel that rehabbing these individuals will be more helpful for society and for the person, rather than sending them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been verified to be extremely effective not only in helping and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Monticello, but also in keeping them off of drugs and in a lot of cases out of the criminal justice system permanently.
