Criminal justice clients in Potosi make their way into alcohol and drug rehab facilities because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Some judges put these types of individuals into the alcohol and drug rehab system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabilitating them will be more effective for the culture at large and for the person, rather than putting them in prison with no rehabilitation at all. This has been verified to be very effective not only in treating and rehabilitating this type of client in Potosi, but also in keeping them off of drugs and in many situations away from the criminal justice system for good.
