Criminal justice clients in Shelby, IA. make their way into drug rehabilitation facilities because they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Many courts put these convicted persons into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they consider that rehabbing these individuals will be more productive for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be very workable not only in helping and rehabilitating this type of client in Shelby, IA., but also in helping them stay sober and in many instances out of the criminal justice system for good.
