Criminal justice clients in Grimes often end up in alcohol and drug treatment programs due to the fact they were found guilty of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Some courts put these types of persons into the drug and alcohol treatment system mainly due to the fact that they consider that rehabbing these persons is more helpful for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than sending them behind bars with no rehab at all. This has been verified to be extremely effective not only in healing and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Grimes, but also in helping them stay off of drugs and in a number of cases out of the criminal justice system permanently.
