Criminal justice clients in Vernon Hills make their way into drug and alcohol treatment 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. Some courts put these convicted persons into the drug rehabilitation system because they feel that rehabilitating these individuals will be more productive for the culture at large and for the individual, rather than sending them in prison with no rehabilitation at all. This has been established to be extremely effective not only in treating and rehabbing these criminal justice clients in Vernon Hills, but also in helping them remain off of drugs and in a lot of situations away from the criminal justice system permanently.
