Criminal justice clients in Haxtun, Colorado make their way into drug and alcohol treatment facilities because they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Many courts put these convicted individuals into the alcohol and drug rehab system because they believe that treating them is more productive for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them behind bars with no rehabilitation at all. This has been verified to be quite successful not only in healing and rehabilitating this type of client in Haxtun, Colorado, but also in keeping them abstinent and in many situations out of the criminal justice system once and for all.
