Criminal justice clients in Lucerne often end up in drug treatment programs because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Some courts put these convicted individuals into the drug rehab system mainly due to the fact that they believe that treating these individuals will be more productive for society and for the individual, rather than sending them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been verified to be extremely workable not only in healing and rehabbing this type of client in Lucerne, but also in helping them remain off of drugs and in a number of instances out of the criminal justice system permanently.
