Criminal justice clients in Katy often end up in drug and alcohol 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 convicted persons into the drug and alcohol rehab system mainly due to the fact that they consider that rehabilitating these persons is more effective for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them in jail with no rehabilitation at all. This has been proven to be extremely effective not only in treating and rehabbing this type of client in Katy, but also in keeping them abstinent and in many instances away from the criminal justice system permanently.
