Criminal justice clients in Kemah often end up in drug rehab programs because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Many judges put these criminal persons into the drug rehab system because they believe that rehabilitating them will be more effective for society and for the individual, rather than sending them behind bars with no rehab at all. This has been established to be extremely successful not only in treating and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Kemah, but also in helping them remain off of drugs and in a lot of situations away from the criminal justice system for good.
