Criminal justice clients in Shelbyville make their way into drug rehab programs due to the fact they were convicted of crimes relating to drugs, whether they were distributing drugs or had drugs in their possession or were high on drugs. Some courts put these convicted persons into the alcohol and drug rehab system because they believe that rehabbing these persons is more helpful for society and for the person, rather than putting them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been verified to be incredibly successful not only in treating and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Shelbyville, but also in helping them remain abstinent and in many cases away from the criminal justice system for good.
