Criminal justice clients in Fredericksburg, Texas make their way into alcohol and drug treatment programs due to the fact they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Some judges put these convicted persons into the drug treatment system mainly due to the fact that they feel that treating these persons is more helpful for the culture at large and for the person, rather than placing them behind bars with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be quite workable not only in treating and rehabilitating this type of client in Fredericksburg, Texas, but also in helping them remain off of drugs and in many instances out of the criminal justice system for good.
