Criminal justice clients in Elsa make their way into alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities because they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were dealing drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Many courts put these criminal persons into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation system because they feel that treating these persons is more productive for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than sending them in prison with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be extremely workable not only in treating and rehabilitating this type of client in Elsa, but also in helping them stay sober and in many cases out of the criminal justice system for good.
