Some judges put these types of persons into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system because they consider that rehabbing them is more productive for the culture at large and for the person, rather than putting them behind bars with no treatment at all. This has been established to be very effective not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Tierra Amarilla, NM., but also in keeping them off of drugs and in a number of cases out of the criminal justice system for good.
