Criminal justice clients in Frenchmans Bayou make their way into alcohol and drug treatment facilities 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 judges put these convicted persons into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system because they believe that rehabbing them will be more effective for society and for the person, rather than putting them behind bars with no treatment at all. This has been established to be very workable not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Frenchmans Bayou, but also in keeping them off of drugs and in a number of cases out of the criminal justice system for good.
