Criminal justice clients in Wingdale, New York make their way into drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs because they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Some courts put these convicted persons into the drug and alcohol treatment system because they believe that rehabbing them is more effective for society and for the individual, rather than placing them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been verified to be extremely successful not only in treating and rehabilitating this type of client in Wingdale, New York, but also in helping them stay abstinent and in many instances away from the criminal justice system for good.
