Criminal justice clients in Estill Springs often end up in drug treatment programs because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Some judges put these types of persons into the drug treatment system mainly due to the fact that they consider that rehabbing these persons will be more helpful for the culture at large and for the person, rather than sending them behind bars with no rehabilitation at all. This has been proven to be incredibly workable not only in helping and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Estill Springs, but also in helping them remain off of drugs and in a number of cases out of the criminal justice system once and for all.
