Criminal justice clients in Steuben make their way into alcohol and drug treatment programs because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Many courts put these convicted individuals into the drug and alcohol rehab system mainly due to the fact that they believe that treating them is more productive for the culture at large and for the person, rather than putting them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be incredibly successful not only in helping and rehabilitating this type of client in Steuben, but also in helping them remain sober and in a number of instances out of the criminal justice system permanently.
