Criminal justice clients in Tonopah make their way into alcohol and drug treatment programs because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were found to be high on drugs. Many courts put these types of persons into the alcohol and drug treatment system because they believe that rehabilitating these persons is more helpful for society and for the individual, rather than putting them behind bars with no treatment at all. This has been established to be extremely workable not only in healing and rehabbing this type of client in Tonopah, but also in helping them remain off of drugs and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system permanently.
