Criminal justice clients in Odessa, TX. often end up in alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers because they were found guilty of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or high on drugs. Many courts put these convicted individuals into the drug and alcohol treatment system because they feel that rehabilitating these individuals will be more helpful for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than sending them behind bars with no treatment at all. This has been established to be quite workable not only in treating and rehabilitating this type of client in Odessa, TX., but also in keeping them sober and in a number of cases out of the criminal justice system for good.
