Criminal justice clients in Durango, CO. often end up in alcohol and drug rehab programs because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Many judges put these types of persons into the alcohol and drug rehab system mainly due to the fact that they believe that treating them will be more effective for society and for the individual, rather than placing them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be quite workable not only in treating and rehabbing this type of client in Durango, CO., but also in helping them stay off of drugs and in a lot of instances away from the criminal justice system permanently.
