Criminal justice clients in Normal often end up in drug rehab facilities because they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were under the influence of drugs. Some judges put these convicted individuals into the drug and alcohol rehabilitation system because they feel that treating these persons will be more productive for society and for the person, rather than putting them behind bars with no rehabilitation at all. This has been verified to be extremely successful not only in healing and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Normal, but also in helping them stay sober and in a lot of cases away from the criminal justice system permanently.
