Criminal justice clients in Topeka often end up in drug rehabilitation programs because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Many courts put these types of individuals into the alcohol and drug rehab system mainly due to the fact that they believe that treating these persons is more effective for society and for the person, rather than sending them behind bars with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be quite successful not only in treating and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Topeka, but also in keeping them sober and in many situations out of the criminal justice system permanently.
