Criminal justice clients in Blythedale, MO. make their way into drug and alcohol treatment centers because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Many judges put these convicted persons into the drug rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they consider that rehabbing these individuals is more helpful for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than placing them in jail with no rehabilitation at all. This has been proven to be incredibly successful not only in helping and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Blythedale, MO., but also in keeping them sober and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system for good.
