Criminal justice clients in Nevada often end up in drug and alcohol treatment facilities due to the fact they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Many judges put these types of persons into the drug and alcohol rehab system because they feel that rehabilitating these persons is more productive for society and for the person, rather than sending them in jail with no treatment at all. This has been established to be very effective not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Nevada, but also in keeping them sober and in a lot of situations away from the criminal justice system permanently.
