Criminal justice clients in Chenango Forks make their way into drug and alcohol treatment programs due to the fact they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were dealing drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Some judges put these types of persons into the drug and alcohol treatment system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabilitating these persons is more productive for the culture at large and for the person, rather than putting them in prison with no rehab at all. This has been proven to be extremely workable not only in healing and rehabbing this type of client in Chenango Forks, but also in keeping them abstinent and in a number of situations away from the criminal justice system for good.
