Criminal justice clients in Wilmer make their way into drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers due to the fact they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were dealing 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 mainly due to the fact that they consider that rehabbing these individuals is more productive for the culture at large and for the person, rather than putting them in prison with no rehab at all. This has been established to be very successful not only in healing and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Wilmer, but also in keeping them abstinent and in a number of instances away from the criminal justice system permanently.
