Criminal justice clients in Cedar Rapids, IA. make their way into alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities because they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were distributing drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Some judges put these convicted individuals into the drug rehab system mainly due to the fact that they consider that treating them will be more productive for society and for the person, rather than sending them in prison with no rehab at all. This has been verified to be extremely successful not only in treating and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Cedar Rapids, IA., but also in helping them stay sober and in many instances out of the criminal justice system permanently.
