Criminal justice clients in Sloansville, New York often end up in alcohol and drug treatment programs due to the fact they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Some courts put these convicted persons into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation system because they feel that treating these persons is more effective for society and for the individual, rather than sending them in prison with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be quite workable not only in healing and rehabbing this type of client in Sloansville, New York, but also in helping them remain abstinent and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system for good.
