Criminal justice clients in St. Jo often end up in drug rehab programs due to the fact they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Some judges put these convicted persons into the alcohol and drug rehab system mainly due to the fact that they consider that rehabbing these individuals is more helpful for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than sending them in jail with no rehabilitation at all. This has been verified to be quite successful not only in treating and rehabilitating this type of client in St. Jo, but also in helping them stay off of drugs and in many situations out of the criminal justice system permanently.
