Criminal justice clients in Dolores often end up in alcohol and drug rehab programs due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were dealing drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Some judges put these types of individuals into the drug and alcohol treatment system mainly due to the fact that they feel that treating these individuals is more productive for society and for the person, rather than putting them behind bars with no treatment at all. This has been verified to be quite successful not only in treating and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Dolores, but also in keeping them sober and in a number of instances away from the criminal justice system permanently.
