Criminal justice clients in Black, MO. often end up in drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Some courts put these types of individuals into the alcohol and drug treatment system mainly due to the fact that they believe that treating these individuals will be more helpful for the culture at large and for the person, rather than placing them in jail with no rehabilitation at all. This has been proven to be very workable not only in treating and rehabbing this type of client in Black, MO., but also in helping them stay abstinent and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system for good.
