Criminal justice clients in Waco often end up in drug and alcohol rehab programs because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Many judges put these criminal persons into the drug treatment system because they believe that rehabilitating these individuals will be more productive for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than placing them in prison with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be incredibly workable not only in treating and rehabbing this type of client in Waco, but also in helping them stay off of drugs and in a lot of instances away from the criminal justice system permanently.
