Criminal justice clients in Sedona often end up in drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities 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 courts put these convicted persons into the drug and alcohol treatment system mainly due to the fact that they feel that rehabbing them is 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 very effective not only in helping and rehabilitating this type of client in Sedona, but also in keeping them abstinent and in a number of situations out of the criminal justice system permanently.
