Criminal justice clients in Windham, New York make their way into drug rehab facilities due to the fact they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Many courts put these convicted individuals into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system because they feel that rehabbing these individuals will be more helpful for the culture at large and for the person, rather than sending them in prison with no rehab at all. This has been verified to be quite effective not only in healing and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Windham, New York, but also in helping them stay abstinent and in a number of instances out of the criminal justice system permanently.
