Criminal justice clients in Thida, AR. make their way into drug and alcohol treatment facilities due to the fact they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were dealing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Many courts put these convicted individuals into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system because they consider that rehabbing them is more helpful for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be extremely effective not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Thida, AR., but also in helping them remain off of drugs and in many instances out of the criminal justice system for good.
