Criminal justice clients in Windthorst make their way into drug rehabilitation centers because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Some judges put these convicted individuals into the alcohol and drug rehab system because they consider that rehabilitating them is more effective for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them in jail with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be quite successful not only in healing and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Windthorst, but also in helping them stay abstinent and in a number of situations away from the criminal justice system permanently.
