Criminal justice clients in Newtown, Missouri often end up in alcohol and drug rehab facilities due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Some courts put these convicted persons into the alcohol and drug rehab system because they consider that rehabilitating them will be more helpful for society and for the person, rather than sending them behind bars with no rehabilitation at all. This has been proven to be extremely successful not only in healing and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Newtown, Missouri, but also in helping them stay off of drugs and in a number of instances away from the criminal justice system once and for all.
