Criminal justice clients in Abbott often end up in drug treatment programs due to the fact they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Some judges put these types of individuals into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabilitating these persons is more productive for society and for the person, rather than putting them behind bars with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be incredibly successful not only in helping and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Abbott, but also in helping them remain off of drugs and in a number of instances out of the criminal justice system permanently.
