Criminal justice clients in Valparaiso make their way into drug rehabilitation centers due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Many judges put these convicted individuals into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation system because they believe that rehabilitating these persons is more effective for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than sending them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be extremely workable not only in helping and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Valparaiso, but also in helping them stay sober and in many cases away from the criminal justice system once and for all.
