Criminal justice clients in Persia, IA. make their way into drug treatment programs because they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Many courts put these criminal persons into the alcohol and drug treatment system because they feel that rehabbing them will be more helpful for the culture at large and for the person, rather than putting them behind bars with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be incredibly workable not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Persia, IA., but also in helping them stay sober and in a number of instances away from the criminal justice system permanently.
