Criminal justice clients in Waco, TX. make their way into drug treatment facilities because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Some judges put these criminal persons into the drug and alcohol rehab system because they feel that rehabilitating them is more effective for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than sending them behind bars with no rehabilitation at all. This has been proven to be incredibly successful not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Waco, TX., but also in helping them stay abstinent and in many instances out of the criminal justice system permanently.
