Criminal justice clients in Greenwood Village often end up in drug and alcohol rehab facilities due to the fact they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, 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 treatment system because they consider that treating them will be more helpful for the culture at large and for the person, rather than putting them in jail with no rehabilitation at all. This has been proven to be quite successful not only in treating and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Greenwood Village, but also in keeping them abstinent and in many cases out of the criminal justice system for good.
