Criminal justice clients in Rawlings often end up in drug and alcohol rehab programs due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or under the influence of drugs. Many courts put these criminal persons into the drug and alcohol treatment system mainly due to the fact that they consider that rehabbing them is more effective for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than putting them in jail with no rehab at all. This has been established to be extremely successful not only in healing and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Rawlings, but also in helping them remain sober and in a number of instances out of the criminal justice system once and for all.
