Criminal justice clients in Joshua often end up in drug and alcohol treatment facilities because they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Many courts put these convicted individuals into the alcohol and drug rehab system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabilitating these persons is more effective for society and for the person, rather than putting them in prison with no rehab at all. This has been established to be extremely successful not only in helping and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Joshua, but also in helping them stay abstinent and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system permanently.
