Criminal justice clients in Tchula often end up in alcohol and drug rehab facilities because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Some judges put these criminal individuals into the alcohol and drug treatment system mainly due to the fact that they believe that treating these individuals will be more effective for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than sending them in jail with no treatment at all. This has been verified to be very effective not only in treating and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Tchula, but also in helping them stay sober and in a number of cases out of the criminal justice system once and for all.
