Criminal justice clients in Lake Dallas, TX. often end up in drug and alcohol treatment centers because they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Many judges put these types of persons into the drug and alcohol treatment system because they consider that treating these persons will be more effective for society and for the individual, rather than sending them behind bars with no treatment at all. This has been proven to be extremely effective not only in treating and rehabilitating this type of client in Lake Dallas, TX., but also in keeping them abstinent and in many instances out of the criminal justice system once and for all.
