Criminal justice clients in Sidney, Nebraska often end up in drug and alcohol rehab facilities due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Some judges put these convicted individuals into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system because they consider that rehabbing these individuals is more helpful for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than placing them in prison with no treatment at all. This has been established to be incredibly effective not only in helping and rehabbing this type of client in Sidney, Nebraska, but also in helping them remain sober and in many instances out of the criminal justice system permanently.
