Criminal justice clients in De Soto, MO. often end up in drug rehabilitation programs due to the fact they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Many courts put these criminal persons into the drug rehabilitation system mainly due to the fact that they consider that rehabbing them will be more effective for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them behind bars with no rehab at all.
