Criminal justice clients in Plainview make their way into alcohol and drug rehab programs because they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were dealing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Some judges put these types of persons into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation system because they believe that treating these persons will be more effective for society and for the individual, rather than placing them in prison with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be extremely successful not only in treating and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Plainview, but also in helping them stay abstinent and in a number of instances away from the criminal justice system permanently.
