Criminal justice clients in Wyoming, Illinois often end up in alcohol and drug treatment programs because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Many courts put these criminal individuals into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they consider that rehabilitating them will be more effective for society and for the individual, rather than placing them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been established to be incredibly workable not only in treating and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Wyoming, Illinois, but also in keeping them off of drugs and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system permanently.
