Criminal justice clients in Woodward make their way into drug rehabilitation facilities because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Some judges put these convicted individuals into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they believe that rehabbing these persons is more effective for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them in prison with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be very successful not only in helping and rehabilitating this type of client in Woodward, but also in keeping them abstinent and in many situations out of the criminal justice system permanently.
