Treating individuals who are addicted and dependent to drugs and/or alcohol and have found their way into the criminal justice system has proven to be a successful method of curbing future drug related crimes by those who do take advantage of treatment programs. For criminal justice clients in Hondo who do partake in alcohol and drug treatment centers, even against one's will as is sometimes ordered by the judge, these clients have a significantly better shot of handling the root of the problem so that they can remain off of drugs and away from the streets drug related criminal activity. The costs to society related to these drug related offenses is also affected positively when criminal justice clients are rehabbed in drug treatment programs in Hondo instead of incarceration or other penalties.
