Criminal justice clients in Lufkin make their way into alcohol and drug treatment facilities due to the fact 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 convicted persons into the alcohol and drug rehab system because they believe that rehabbing these persons is more effective for society and for the person, rather than sending them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be quite effective not only in healing and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Lufkin, but also in helping them stay abstinent and in many cases out of the criminal justice system once and for all.
