Criminal justice clients in Shaniko, OR. often end up in drug and alcohol treatment programs due to the fact they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Many judges put these convicted persons into the alcohol and drug treatment system because they consider that rehabilitating these individuals will be more effective for the culture at large and for the person, rather than putting them in jail with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be extremely successful not only in healing and rehabilitating this type of client in Shaniko, OR., but also in keeping them off of drugs and in many cases away from the criminal justice system for good.
